Discover the power of reflective writing in this 90-minute online workshop, taught by the founding instructor of the National Gallery of Art’s popular Writing Salon, Mary Hall Surface. Inspired by an evocative contemporary painting, explore metaphors—both visual and verbal—to help navigate your experience of the present moment. Beginning to seasoned writers find new tools for considering and capturing this time of challenge and change. These reflections can become fertile ground for memoir, poetry, and other forms.
