Inner Discovery Through Art With Kris Keys

Inner Discovery Through Art

July 26, 2026; 12-2pm

Inner Discovery Through Art is a reflective watercolor experience led by artist Kris Keys designed to help participants slow down, reconnect with themselves, and explore creativity as a wellness practice. Held within the peaceful landscape of the arboretum, this guided session combines mindful painting, storytelling, breath, and observation of nature to encourage presence and self-discovery through art.
Guests will be guided through intuitive watercolor exercises inspired by botanicals, memory, and emotion while being invited to release perfection and focus on process, feeling, and reflection. Herbal tea will be served as part of the experience, creating a calming environment rooted in softness, restoration, and creative exploration.
Participants Can Expect:

-A live performance demonstration of watercolor painting techniques by internationally trained artist Kris Keys.

-Beginner-friendly instructions on how to paint roses in watercolor.

-Meditative connection between mind, body, spirit, and nature.

-Lessons in herbalism and tea samples

-Two self-completed floral paintings.

No painting experience is necessary—only a willingness to be present, explore, and create.
