Dear artists,

I’m thrilled to announce an upcoming in-person painting workshop with the amazing artist, solful story teller and art friend Annie Hamman! After two workshops had been sold out pretty quickly, we decided to open one more. “The Winged Once” workshop in August will be the last one with Annie in USA for a while, just before she heading back home to South Africa.

This workshop will sure take your artistic skills to new heights!

Join Annie for a captivating journey to explore the art of painting soulful portraits with story and symbolism. This immersive workshop will be held in my personal studio, located in East Brunswick, NJ., Agist 7-9.

Annie will guide you through the process of infusing emotion, depth, and meaning into your portraits, creating artworks that resonate with both the artist and the viewer. Through a combination of demonstrations, personalized instruction, and hands-on practice, you will gain invaluable insights into the techniques and concepts behind soulful portraiture.
