Local artist Wes Waugh will host an art-based activity at the Middle Fork Greenway in
Blowing Rock, focusing on simplified value sketching. Participants can choose a subject
nearby and learn both techniques and the importance of relaxed, creative exploration.
Drawing from thirty years as a counselor and watercolor artist, Wes highlights that
creativity at any age or skill level fosters well-being and peace in a changing world.
The wind is Mark Nystrom’s muse and the play of light on swiftly moving water fascinates him. The ebbs and flows of natural forces have inspired works of art and design since he attended graduate school in the mid-2000s. After more than a decade of professional practice as a graphic designer, Nystrom went to graduate school to explore ways of using art and design to foster stronger connections between people and nature. He is now an artist, designer and educator living in the mountains of western North Carolina.
