Letting go can be the hardest part of creating.

In Gail Wager’s abstract class, students started the session holding tight to structure… and slowly began to loosen their grip.

What followed?
More color. More movement. More them.

By the end of class, the room was filled with pieces that felt honest, expressive, and completely unique. 🎨 That’s the beauty of abstract art, it’s not about getting it right, it’s about discovering what happens when you let yourself play.
