Wendy Satsky, M.Ed.

HeARTworks is the heartfelt vision of artist/educator Wendy Satsky for personal peace, created one brushstroke at a time.  This is accomplished by experiencing awareness, joy, and a connection to spirit through the practice of visual arts.  Artistic expression is a powerful force that anyone can access for creativity, communication, and healing.  Offering her 30 years of experience, Wendy assists all those who take her classes- whether it's one-on-one or in workshops-in building artistic confidence by honoring each individual's natural creative abilities.  She does this by teaching new methods and techniques of craftsmanship, appropriate for all levels of artistic abilities, in a comfortable setting.  Wendy's personal artworks reflect her love of nature, words, and colors, which she ingeniously weaves together in unique original designs of "calligraphics", an artistic blend of calligraphy and painting that is uniquely her own.  Her popular series of yoga-chakra mandalas are healing images available as limited edition prints and greeting cards.  Wendy is presently serving as art director for People House, a center for personal and spiritual growth in Metro Denver.


 

Following are my HeARTworkshops offered at People House, May-August, ’09:

 


 


 

1-  Title:  Conscious Color


 

Description: Many artists know how color is a powerful element that can affect one's mood, outlook, and energy level and can elicit responses to their works. Since colors have a physical, mental, and emotional effect on our being, learning about the art, science, and psychology, of color will help you make more conscious decisions about their use in your everyday life. This session will include a hands-on experience using color and all artistic ability levels are welcome.
