SUMMARY:Artist Talk and Intuitive Painting and Collaging Workshop with M
 ikaela Shafer
DESCRIPTION:All My Relations Arts warmly invites you to a captivating ar
 tist talk with Mikaela Shafer\, the featured solo artist of our current 
 exhibition Matrilineal Memory. This event is a chance for audience membe
 rs to get an intimate glimpse into Mikaela's background and creative jou
 rney and an opportunity to delve deep into the artistic process. Uncover
  the profound inspirations that fuel her work\, and hear the compelling 
 stories behind the pieces.\n\nAfter the talk\, stay for an intuitive abs
 tract art workshop led by Mikaela Shafer. We’ll be working with waterc
 olors to create spontaneous and emotionally led\, layered paintings\, ad

  and make art based on how you feel in the moment—no right or wrong\, 
 just experimentation and self-expression. Together we will share stories
  and moments and let that guide us as we create our artwork.\n\n&nbsp\;\

 an exploration of memory\, emotion\, and cultural preservation. A solo e

 ry\, and installation. Through the use of collagraph\, dyeing\, sewing\,
  and layering on paintings\, she intertwines her practice with her cultu
 re\, drawing inspiration from her Hopi heritage. Shafer’s unique appro
 ach incorporates unconventional tools\, including dried corn\, creating 
 intricate patterns and textures\, including works printed on chiffon. Sh
 afer’s work becomes a practice of facing head on memories and processi
 ng\, grieving\, and ultimately healing. Each painting unearths a new mem
 ory\; each poem serves as a conduit for emotional release.\n\n“Memorie
 s are powerful. A smell\, a sound\, or a flavor can send you spiraling d
 own a rabbit hole of a moment you’ve long forgotten”—Mikaela Shafe
