Ocean Meditations Through Drawings

An Interactive Workshop with Olivia Hallstein

Join us waterside for an intimate and interactive art experience with renowned artist, Olivia Ann Carye-Hallstein. Taking inspiration from our harbourside location and artists who focus on water in their work, this workshop will explore how to draw water and represent its form in your medium of choice. From watercolors and charcoal to pastels and chalk, Olivia will lead you through exercises of observation and contemplation that will provide insight into water’s structure, impacts and beauty. An awareness you can reveal in your chosen medium.

Olivia is a Cambridge, Massachusetts based internationally exhibited artist and educator who has practiced professionally for more than a decade. She began her career in the artist collectives and state theaters in Berlin, Germany, studied set and costume design at Kunsthochschule Berlin-Weissensee and founded a community-oriented arts organization called …impy… in Neukoelln.
