Held on Sunday October 13th, The Wild Women Society welcomed a dynamic lineup. We touched on why it is so important to gather women (and save the world!), Divine Feminine, privilege, and humanity. Former Guest Speaker Karlita Nabors-Palermo joined us once again, this time as an intuitive Tarot Card reader. Complimentary Colors (Camille and Ashley Perry) treated us to warm, fun, beautiful tunes and a funny Mad-Lib song, with Sue Jensen's beautiful artwork for inspiration and Dr. Carol Parker Walsh delivered (sang!) a message that brought a well-deserved first: a WWS standing ovation.

I met Carol a decade ago and have always admired her. She is whip-smart, sassy, confident, stylish, fun, and man, does she have it going ON (did I mention smart??) Click through to her website to read more...and there is SO much more, you are in for a real treat!

Guest Artist Sue Jensen has been painting for over 32 years and teaching for 25.
In her words: I love the process of making art. It brings out a feeling that is calming and centering. After all these years, I’ve gotten past the self criticism usually accompanying early painting and don’t worry so much. I’ve got my dad to thank for his encouragement. He was an amazing painter and drawer, but didn’t get to use it much in his life. I hope he’s watching and is happy for me.
Right now I’m working on encaustics, collages, and acrylics. Encaustic painting uses beeswax and damar resin, heated on a palette. Each layer of wax applied, whether clear or colored, must be fused to the layer below. This way a solid foundation is established and the wax is embedded into the surface, thus becoming archival. This method is older than oils, so has been tested well. The Greeks used this wax mixture in shipbuilding, and the early Egyptians used this method in their famous Fayem portraits. I just love the surface work and the feel and smell of the beeswax.

Guest Musicians Complimentary Colors
One December day in 2016, two songbirds, Camille Rose and Ashley Elizabeth, flew in to each other’s paths in the Pacific Northwest. As winter faded and their love bloomed, the folk-pop of Complimentary Colors was born.
Complimentary Colors dances through a rainbow of emotions with childlike joy as they play small, often unusual instruments behind their lush harmonies. Hear them explore their folk and country roots together, adding touches of the theatrical, while they steal your heart with their catchy, heartfelt tunes and the love that they share.
