Painting Poetry with Mavis Penney

During this workshop, participants will explore how poetry can be inspired by visual art with Mavis Penney, a visual artist and writer based in Happy Valley Goose Bay. The session will focus on understanding how descriptive writing can deepen your connection to a painting and uncover its meaning.

Participants will be guided through selecting an artwork of their choice, reflecting on it, and shaping their ideas into a poem by condensing their thoughts into an expressive and essential form.
