Learn, play, and create in this beginner-friendly, drop-in watercolor class. Relax by Boston harbor and let the colors of your environment inspire you. With the guidance of Boston-based watercolor artist Lisa Goren, participants will be encouraged to get messy, embrace mistakes, and create something uniquely their own.
While all experience levels are welcome, this workshop is designed for adult audiences. Supplies are limited; first come, first served.
This series has been organized to accompany the exhibition— Stanley Whitney: How High the Moon.
About the Instructor
Lisa Goren was born in California and raised in NYC. And yet she has dreamed of Polar landscapes since she was in her teens. Her first trip to Antarctica inspired her to capture this world. Travels to Iceland and Alaska followed. Her watercolors examine this unfamiliar landscape and create questions about the nature of abstraction and our planet with her representations of unfamiliar, threatened terrains.
Earning a place on the 2013 Arctic Circle Residency, Goren chronicled her journey in New York Times. During the pandemic, she worked on smaller paintings of animals in human spaces as well as portraits of health care workers—selected for “The best art created by Washington Post readers during the pandemic.” In 2024, Goren participated in two artist residencies in Iceland and France. She will head to Nantucket and France for residencies in 2025.
