Neurographic Art with Janice Dirksen

Discover the calming and creative practice of Neurographic Art in this relaxing, beginner-friendly workshop.

Using simple ink pen techniques and watercolour, we’ll create a peaceful waterscape featuring a sunrise or sunset while exploring flowing lines and gentle colour.

As we transform sharp angles into soft, rounded curves, we invite our minds to slow down, reduce stress, and let go of tension. The repetitive, mindful movements used in Neurographic Art encourage focus, creativity, and emotional expression while engaging the brain in ways that support cognitive wellness and relaxation.

No artistic experience is necessary—only a willingness to explore, create, and enjoy the process. You’ll leave with a beautiful finished piece of art and a simple technique you can continue using at home to promote calm, creativity, and mindful well-being.

Demographic: Ages 55+

Cost: $5/person
