Join abstract expressionist painter Sondra Hersh and writer Joan Stockbridge in an evening’s exploration of the beauty of the present moment. Sondra and Joan collaborated to create RiverWalk, an exhibit of painting and haiku created out of their immediate experiences of walking along the North Fork of the American River. On Friday, March 12 they will briefly describe their collaboration and lead the audience through a lively, playful experience of being present in the moment, including fun writing and art activities. Suitable for families with grade school age children as well as adults.
