Brenna George will lead an art-making excursion to The Leaf, the new Winnipeg conservatory that features a tropical rain forest biome, a Mediterranean biome, and a butterfly garden. Having spent many hours sketching there, George will share her experiences by offering tips and demonstrations. You will have a couple of hours to explore and create before rejoining the group to share what you have made. Enjoy glorious hothouse humidity in the depth of winter and practise the foundational act of putting marks on paper.
Bring the wet, dry or digital media of your choice and a sketchbook, drawing board and/or tablet.

She combines journalling and humorous insights with exuberant brushwork and anthropomorphism, which she describes as “where sentimental mushiness meets fretful thought.” Her work is in the collection of the National Gallery of Canada and the Surrey Art Gallery. She has mentored at MAWA, Video Pool and the Manitoba Arts Network, and teaches painting and drawing at the WAG, RWB, Forum Art Centre and Fort Garry Palette Club. www.brennageorge.com
