LUAG Community Workshop: Expressing Me From What I See: Self-Portrait Workshop with Nia Watson

Come one come all
All ages, all beings
To take our portraits
And express our feelings
We'll take a pause
To create some art
Put together mosaics
from collected loose parts
Together we'll think
About the world that we see
And how it effects
Inside of you and me
I hope that I see you
This workshop will be  fun
Gathered as a community
Making art as one.

Nia Watson
Song Poet & Educator
Nia has evolved into her art form over the last six years. Taking journal entries and transforming them into song poems inspired by life experiences. Influenced by nature, specifically birds, their flying patterns and songs. She creates other visuals as well when inspired.

Nia is also a yoga instructor offering diverse classes to the valley for the past decade. She has taught early childhood since 2009.  Currently, Nia is in the midst of learning to

be a birth worker to support birthing beings themselves and those who are growing within them from conceiving to postpartum. Her classes and community offerings weave all the parts of herself together. Offering movement with a touch of playfulness and songs to soothe everyone present.

Nia has performed here in the Valley, Philadelphia Amsterdam and Rio de Janero. She hopes to keep learning and growing and sharing the lessons she learns along the way.
