Hi, I’m Grethe

Welcome to Art Think Cafe! Very pleased that you are choosing to visit. My goal in creating the Art think Cafe is to build an inspiring place for artists and art lovers to gather, a place to share creative ideas.

Creating is a journey and so much of it is solo. Through this website, I would like to tell you about my personal journey and share with you what is happening in my studio. I also invite others to join me; the Grow Your Art classes that I offer focus on learning and sharing, being part of a creative community.

Art Think Cafe is all about Art

Creating art, sharing art, and in every way possible, thinking art.
So pull up a stool, pour yourself a big mug of something satisfying, and stay awhile.

Illumination

ILLUMINATION 2022 (2)

The Illumination show happened in June 2022. It was a celebration of light: finding the light, expressing the light, seeking our way into a brighter place following the past two years of rummaging around in the pandemic darkness. This show features the work of students in my "Just Do It!" Experimental Painting classes. The video shows their work and features the artists talking about their process - take a look and listen ....

I invite you to browse through the work that I am creating. Feel free to linger a while.

"Teaching others and encouraging sharing and camaraderie among artists is something that I take great pleasure in."

Grow Your Art classes are offered both "in real life" and "on-line via ZOOM". Your choice.

NEW classes are added frequently.

I look forward to working with you, regardless of whether you choose to join "in real life" classes or continue to work on-line.

June 2023 Update: As I have moved to the Algonquin Highlands, upcoming classes are in the planning process. Check back regularly, or sign up to receive monthly updates in your inbox.
