Art Group: Art Journaling

This winter, we’re excited to introduce a new art group: Art Journaling! This group is all about the creative process—blending color, words, and images on the page in your unique style. It’s an opportunity to experiment, explore new ideas, and express yourself, with an emphasis on the journey over the finished product.

Art Journaling (1)

Join us for a free, fun, and supportive art journaling group, led by Artistree Gallery artist Ruth Wegehaupt. This is a creative space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions through art, without judgment or pressure. Whether you're processing something deep or simply enjoying a moment of creativity, art journaling offers a safe, no-rules environment to express whatever is on your mind. Connect with others and discover the joy of filling your pages with whatever inspires you!

Come for one session or join us for all—Wednesdays, January 29 through February 26. All you need is a blank journal with sturdy pages or even an old book ready for a creative transformation. Bring along any inspiring materials—scraps of paper, lace, fabric, photos, magazines, crayons, paints, or stamps—and we’ll share and explore together. LOLA will also have some supplies on hand for you to use!

 

Ruth Wegehaupt

Ruth came to art later in life, after exploring various careers, some related to art and others not. She taught secondary language arts and visual media, often combining art with writing and media literacy. After retiring, she began to embrace her identity as an artist, working in jewelry, encaustic, and mixed media. Art journaling is part of her daily routine, serving as a tool for personal reflection and creativity. Ruth uses art as a form of healing, helping others, especially victims of trauma, express themselves through workshops. A former member of ArtWorks Gallery in Aberdeen, SD, she has taught various art techniques, including jewelry making, encaustic painting, and art journaling.

A few examples from her journals below:
