Our instructor, Brooke Harris, is a painter who calls Lexington, Kentucky home. Most of Brooke’s paintings use acrylic paint to create abstract scenes of time and space. While the paintings are non-referential, they are strangely familiar and evoke memory and emotion. They depict metaphors of something greater than the physical: a spiritual reality expressed in paint. Brooke is a writing professor for Indiana Wesleyan University and is an award-winning poet and artist. Her art can be seen in galleries across the Central Kentucky area. She teaches paint workshops to all ages and is particularly interested in helping people express creativity and reflect on what it is to be human while creating art.
