Event Description
Instructor: Kara Ashley-Gilmore
Date: 3/29/2025
Location: Art Place Studio Workshop
Members: $50 Non-Members: $60
“I am…” is one of the most powerful phrases you can ever say. Whatever follows “I am…” is what you believe–and will become what you are. Why not choose to end that phrase with something positive? In this workshop, we will create a cut-and-folded, mini-affirmation book that contains our strengths, gifts, and desires, so we won’t forget who we are underneath the whispers of our inner critics. We will explore color, texture, and collage as we fill our pages with found images, paint, and text. No drawing or art-making experience is needed.
All supplies will be provided and may include various magazines, paints, collage materials, colored pencils, markers, and pastels. Bring your willingness to play, and your desire to connect and share!

Artist Bio:
Kara Ashley-Gilmore believes in the use of our innate creativity for our wellness and healing. She is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, Board Certified Art Therapist, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, and a mixed-media artist at the Art Place Studios, in Hendersonville. As an artist, Kara paints intuitively, often incorporating bright colors with layers of paint, text, and collage, to process life and express themes of hope and encouragement. Art-making has always been an important part of her self-care, and her studio is her personal space to experiment and play. Ultimately, all of her work is about helping people be more creative, use their creativity for personal growth, and incorporate creativity into their daily lives. Her art therapy workshops are tailored to those who appreciate opportunities for creative exploration–with gentle guidance–in a nonjudgmental, quiet atmosphere.
