Maryrose Crook Art

Testimonials:

The different topics and threads each week encouraged me to branch out and make in so many new ways. I really enjoyed the way you combined more visual prompts with more emotional and philosophical ones, stretching us in all directions, into new territories of the heart and mind. I feel like I'm just scratching the surface and am so pleased we can continue. Already though this has given me a deeper connection with myself, a safe loving space to explore interior motives (and motifs!) and beliefs, and a reigniting of the importance of play and creation as central to a juicy full life.

I highly recommend Maryrose’s creative workshops. She shared her early influences, the reasons behind starting her art practice, and the sources of her inspiration. We delved into the significance of symbolism and learned how to create our own library of motifs. Maryrose provides meaningful prompts that can ignite your own creative journey. While you are encouraged to use any creative medium, whether traditional art materials, sound, or writing, Maryrose also demonstrates how to mix her signature oil palette and offers practical tips on transforming a blank canvas into a work in progress. She helped me destress about my process, rekindle my imagination and reflect on the direction of my art practice.
