My fave moment at this event last summer was guiding a group of men in singing “I’m Painting the River with the River” while standing right by the river itself. It was one of those magical moments where creativity, nature, and community all came together.
I led attendees in creating watercolor landscape paintings using plant-based dyes and actual water collected from the river. Because no chemicals were added, the artwork was beautifully temporary—eventually fading back into nature. My mission is to reduce chemical-based supplies by introducing original methods.
Look for Vibrant Arts w/ Rhiannon table on the dock to take home a painting.
