Guest Speaker Joanie Quinn is a rainbow haired, Menopause Mom of four. She's saving up for their therapy one performance at a time. Joanie regularly performs in Portland's comedy show "Spilt Milk: you'll laugh til you cry!”, Harvey's Comedy Club, and has appeared at Helium Comedy Club and The Legendary Ice House in Pasadena.
Paris-born, Oregon-based artist Aimee Erickson is an oil painter in the realist tradition. Trained as an illustrator, she has a BFA in Visual Communication Design; her paintings are characterized by strong design, color, and brushwork, and have won many awards. She has studied with Sherrie McGraw, Burton Silverman, and Joseph Paquet, and is the first woman artist to paint an Oregon gubernatorial portrait, that of Barbara Roberts in 1997. Her workshop offerings include color theory for painters, plein-air painting, and studio painting.
Guest Musician Sarah Wild, formerly Sarah Vitort, is a Portland native singer songwriter and self-dubbed "superhero in training". Fiery, free spirited, and fun-loving, she aims to inspire and empower people to live authentically and to embrace their own wild sides. As superheroes do, she strives to find the balance between the dark and the light, always aiming to be a creature of love, but not fearing her inner darkness, which is reflected in her work. Her songwriting represents both her deep spiritual beliefs and lighthearted carefree lifestyle alike, and her personal style reflects her love for classic DC Comics characters and badass female vigilantes.
Oh my dear Wild Women, I am BEYOND excited to present to you my latest addition to The Society: WildChild. In the interest of creating a space for women to thrive and grow, we do well to incorporate GRATITUDE. The Society constantly reminds me of the MAGIC of bringing women together to support and care for each other. With that in mind, $2 of each door fee will be donated to the party's designated WildChild. As is appropriate, the needs of the WildChild will be shared and/or she will attend the party. If you feel so called, it is possible to make additional contributions.
Here is Mary Suzanne Garvey with my "Mom" collage/project that she inspired and is guiding me through. I felt (and feel) extremely shy about showing artwork I have done because I am no artist, but this, my friends, is more about the EXPERIENCE and the journey and that is why when Mary suggested I share it I agreed even though I think it is still a hot mess (it's not done yet!). But isn't that what it is all about anyhow? Sometimes our lives go from 'Everything is Cool' to 'Hot Mess' in a nanosecond. Women are phenomenal at throwing out support lines and helping each other out.
I want to encourage you Wild Women to seek out art, journaling, meditation, anything that opens you up and allows you to tap into your creativity. Do it for YOU, but also do it for those who love you.
