I have recently started adult art classes – and while it is often a highlight of my week, it’s also been really hard to let go of the inner critic, relax into the process, and enjoy the time to slow down, connect with my hidden inner creative, as well as the wonderful women I share that time with.

So this talk caught my attention.  Wendy invites us all to slow down and look at the world around us. She believes drawing can spark deeply human, authentic connections. “Drawing is looking, and looking is loving,” she says.

She believes drawing is an essential tool to help everyone — young and old — slow down, look closely and connect with one another.  “If you slow down, pay attention and really look. You will fall back in love with the world and everyone in it.”
