Letting Go: Discovering the Freedom and Joy of Watercolor. This workshop will help students embrace the fluid and unpredictable nature of watercolor.

Using oil and watercolor, Taraleigh brings landscapes to life, capturing rolling hills, whispering forests, and luminous skies. At the same time, her abstract pieces invite us to explore emotions and ideas beyond words. Through her art, she hopes to inspire curiosity, wonder, and a deeper appreciation for the world around us. https://www.taraleighbennett.com/
