PAINTING
ART OPENING this Friday 9/9 from 7-9pm

Kinesis/Pandemic Art - works by Nathan Torrence and Elyse Fineman

Heartwood Center
818 W. Dempster St.
Evanston, IL.
This will be the maiden voyage of my series titled KINESIS that I completed over the first year of the pandemic.

Here's the story behind KINESIS:

Based on movement, KINESIS is an attempt to free myself from preciousness and let each painting breathe. Without any plans or sketches, each painting is done in a single sitting. I allow something outside of myself to move me and I work non-stop until the movement has finished.

I love every painting in the series, but to let the work breathe I want them to have a life beyond my hands. I want my paintings to find new homes and enrich people’s lives. Like everything in nature and in life, you will find that your painting has something different to show you every day.

There will be soft drinks and snacks, artwork is available for sale.

Show runs through September. If you want to see the show but cannot make it to the opening, get in touch with me and we can arrange a time!

Please note that masks are required because Heartwood Center is a medical building.
HEALING
Shiatsu Treatment Availability
I'm available for treatments M, Tu, We and Fri. Call or email me to schedule!
I had some very fulfilling experiences with my Shiatsu. I helped a young man recover from long Covid. I worked with a survivor of chronic illness who told me the next day that he felt happy! It's deeply fulfilling to connect with people and help them. If you are curious about Shiatsu and what it can do for you, get in touch.
MUSIC
Enchanted by the Music of Sindh, Pakistan

Several years back I became interested in the Alghoza double flute from Sindh, Pakistan. I've recently made some lovely connections with the Sindhi-American community, performing in Maryland, Connecticut and my home city.

It is deeply saddening that the homeland of this instrument has been struck by flooding of insane proportions. Many thousands of homes have been destroyed. So I am planning to do a fundraiser concert with some friends, possibly later this month or in October.

In the meantime, please visit this GoFund Me page that was put together by the Sindhi Association of North America.
I look forward to seeing you!!!
