Sand & Psyche

Join veteran Geoffrey Bowton for a FREE paper mask painting activity. Paint or sketch your story on the mask. Registration requested.

There are moments in life when expressing something deeply important becomes a challenge. Words may fail us, making it difficult to communicate what truly matters. Through my own journey, I have discovered that art can serve as a bridge to my inner self. It enables me to engage with the unresolved stories within, offering a way to confront narratives that are not easily spoken aloud.

One of the most profound experiences I have encountered is creating something tangible from personal history. By externalizing thoughts and feelings into a physical form, I am able to witness them in the world around me. This creative act brings clarity and a sense of relief, as though a burden has been lifted. Each time I commit to this process, I take another step toward self-awareness and finding peace through making art.

I invite you to join me in sharing your story with others during a free, four-hour window of Paper Mask Painting. Paint or sketch your story on the mask.
