Naturally Abstract: Painting with Earth Pigments

With Meg Jorgenson

A Little Green Art Studio Workshop

$105

Join LA based Artist Meg Jorgenson for an exploration of painting with earth pigments. In this workshop, Meg will introduce students to the art of working with foraged clay and flora pigments to create an abstract impressionist painting. Through this practice, students will experience how working with these mediums is a radical means of reintroducing our interconnectedness to ourselves, each other and the land.

Meg Jorgenson is a painter based in Los Angeles. She is known for her meditative works that explore the congruence between natural figuration and poetic abstraction. Her studied experimentation in creating pigments from foraged natural elements creates a sense of refraction with color and texture. Drawing inspiration from ancient parietal painters who used clay-derived paints to communicate as well as the pioneering female artists of spiritualism, Jorgenson utilizes art as a medium to delve into ephemeral moments of the soul. An interplay between the tangible and the subconscious, her work invites the viewer into a transcendental landscape that evolves with the beauty of attention.
