BASED ON A TRUE STORY

I cherish old stories, not only mine but even my mom’s and my grandmother’s. Stories told at a dinner party or traveling on a plane. At the beginning of yoga class many years ago, our teacher Maude told a story about her parents that I still repeat today. Sometimes these tales get embellished and mixed up between lore and fact, but what resonates is a shared thread of common experience.

What memory do you have that brings back powerful, evocative feelings? Do you have an old photo that can be mined for a meaningful visual narrative? In this fourth session of our series called “Based on a True Story,” I invite you to come in with an old photo or a scribble about something that lives in the dark recesses of your mind. I’ll be your creative godmother as we find a way to shine a light on (even a tickle of) a memory that you want to draw out, and see what happens when it makes its way onto canvas.
