Winter 2025 NEWS & EVENTS

Visual Fitness Workouts:

Embracing HUMANITY

with Unity & Courage

Long before the 2024 Presidential Election, I had planned to offer an online, hands-on, and interactive Visual Fitness “workout” for the Woman's Caucus for Art DC Chapter members on January 19, 2025, focused on the timely virtues of Unity & Courage. Over 25 participants used my Balanced Way of Seeing® to explore multiple layers of meaning in Norman Rockwell’s 1961 painting The Golden Rule and discussed its timely relevance to our lives. We also decoded Anita Kunz’ current exhibition at The Norman Rockwell Museum Original Sisters: Portraits of Tenacity and Courage to rediscover sources of our own unity and courage. We used Marking & Mapping® to create unique versions of our own “Original Sister ” portraits, share them with one another in breakout rooms and altogether. The program was so successful I offered an encore session on January 20th, Inauguration Day. Since both workouts, I've been collecting Original Sisters Mappings and texts from many participants and assembling them into a Unity "Quilt" I plan to share with the museum.

Invited by National Women's Caucus for Art president Sandra Davis, I will present an updated workout on February 8th from 2- 4 PM ET, as part of the Second Saturday program. Please join us for this timely exploration of the power of Art to create Unity and Courage.
