Mom & Littles Mindfulness: Art & Nature
About Event:
Kids 10 and under (plus a parent) are invited to join Theresa Anderson at Gather-d, a creative collective in Downtown Rockford, MI. Together we will experience the beauty and simplicity of nature through observing and collecting and stimulate creative expression using nature's art to create our own.
For this session, moms and littles will meet at Gather-d and take a nature walk down the White Pine Trail, looking at the art of nature and collecting inspiring features. Back at Gather-d, Theresa will lead us through an activity to bring our own expressions of art and nature together into a piece to take home.
Encourage kids to be mindful, observing and appreciating the gifts of nature, while expanding their creative minds.
This experience will have limited attendance and will be offered at Gather-d, a creative collective in Downtown Rockford, MI. Coffee & tea will be available for adults to sip during the art activity. Parents may reserve one spot for each child. Children under 2 are free to observe with parent.
Gather-d is a boutique & gathering space located at:
46 E Bridge St NE
Rockford, MI 49341

Hi, I'm Theresa Anderson...
I am a British born artist living and working in Grand Rapids Michigan. I came to the USA via working as an artist and prop maker for theatre and film. At my last position touring with Cirque du Soleil I met my husband, and when we finally packed away our touring life we settled with our son in beautiful Michigan.
I have taken this new direction as an opportunity to redefine what I see as my path. I have begun experimenting with new ways to work, using paint, additives and various mediums to create work I find to be exhilarating. I have left behind the exacting nature of design briefs to work on my self expression. I now create from my love of color and order out of chaos. My constant inspiration is the natural world, from crashing waves and rock faces to microscopic organisms, there is color and texture in all forms and I hope to never stop exploring them!
