Local artist Steff Echeverria uses charcoal, chalk pastel and oil pastel with paint on cardstock to create some of her artwork. Among her portfolio, some titles include “Spontaneous Healing,” “Living with a Mental Illness” and “Love More,” the latter of which is also the name of her recent solo exhibit at Women’s Wisdom Art in Sacramento.
After wrapping up her first solo art exhibit at WWA in early July, Echeverria taught a visual journaling class.
“Art is my favorite language,” Echeverria says. “I live with manic depression and over the last 15 years I have been developing a style of expression that I must keep at it. I must do art daily, transforming feelings and emotions through line, color and shape. I am learning to thrive through creativity — art.”
Located on Del Paso Boulevard, the nonprofit WWA provides free workshops on poetry, resumes and artist statements for original pieces. WWA also offers workshops on quilling art paper, painting on glass, glass bead mobiles, acrylics, crochet, mosaics, music and yoga.
