In her presentation, author, artist Lorene Edwards Forkner will talk about color, it’s role in a pleasing landscape, and how her daily practice, which she posts on Instagram, has introduced an expansiveness to the way she views the world. Participants will learn to see with fresh eyes and an enjoy an opportunity to slow down, focus, and savor the season. Lorene Edwards Forkner lives a garden-based life in the Pacific Northwest, specifically in an old house near the beach in West Seattle, (USDA 8).
