About this Event
Embodied Painting Workshop with Artist Liz Dueck
1-3pm, Saturday, March 21, 2026
Registration Required | $30, Materials included
Tune in to your body’s wisdom through the language of paint. In this Embodied
Painting workshop, we’ll move beyond technique to experience art as a form of
emotional regulation and self-expression. You’ll learn acrylic painting methods while
exploring how each brushstroke can reflect sensation, intuition, and release. Open to
all skill levels—just bring curiosity and presence. Materials included.
About the Exhibit, A Year of Embodied Art by Liz Dueck
A documentation of her emotional states through painting and writing, Liz Dueck’s new work in A Year of Embodied Art, gives the viewer a raw sequence of exploring the inside self vis à vis themes in nature. “I have come to understand my art practice as a spectrum, on one end is a literal approach to my physical surrounds that is research-based, site-specific learning about Oklahoma’s ecosystems and on the other end of the spectrum is the visibility of my emotional grounding in nature. Holding true to the belief that we are not separate to nature, it all lies under the same themes of exploration and connection with nature that has made up my creative practice.”
With self-imposed constraints on materials and her process, Dueck instead leads with emotion to explore Nature Expressionism in twelve paintings - “a consistent, genuine relationship with the Earth on a deep level with themes in nature have helped me understand themes within my own life - processing, accepting, and releasing hard things, because I see nature do it everyday.”
About the Artist: Liz Dueck is a Nature Artist, Art Educator, and Trail Guide whose work bridges painting, environmental art, and community connection. While oil painting is her primary medium, her practice expands into Land Art, natural materials, interactive sculpture, and collaborative outdoor experiences. Dueck’s style ranges from field-based research and depiction of Oklahoma’s eco-regions to an expressive, intuitive mode she calls Nature Expressionism, which translates the emotional resonance of place through bold gesture and layered textures. Dueck earned her BFA in Studio Art, Art Education Certification, and Art History minor from Oklahoma State University in 2017.
