Summer Studio Series: Acrylic Painting

Inspire Creative Company is excited to welcome local artist and creative Gabrielle Morris for a special Summer Series painting experience designed for artists of all skill levels.

This class is part of our Summer Series, a collection of creative experiences designed to inspire connection, reflection, and personal growth through art. Together, we'll explore the beauty of transformation while creating in a supportive and encouraging environment.

Led by Gabrielle Morris, participants will create a vibrant butterfly garden scene using acrylic paint while exploring the theme of transformation.

Gabrielle brings a unique blend of creativity, teaching experience, and faith to her work. An elementary school teacher, artist, and member of Inspire's Creative Collective, she is passionate about creating spaces where people can experience healing, growth, and encouragement through art. Throughout the class, Gabrielle will guide participants step-by-step through the painting process while sharing her personal story of faith, creativity, and transformation.

Expect a relaxed, supportive atmosphere where creativity is celebrated, conversation is welcomed, and every participant leaves with a meaningful piece of art.

"So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image." — 2 Corinthians 3:18

Just as a caterpillar transforms into a butterfly, we are continually transformed as children of God. Through this acrylic painting project, participants will create a butterfly garden scene as a visual reminder of God's work in making each of us new.
