  • explore and capture observational recordings

  • connect with like-minded creatives

  • continue developing your work from your home studio

  • share your progress with the group online

How much you participate is entirely up to you.

About WAG

Hi, I'm Lee, and I founded the Walking Art Group to reconnect with creativity—and to help others do the same.Like many people, I found that life became busy, and creating art for myself gradually slipped into the background. I wanted a reason to slow down, get outside and reconnect with creativity—and to share that experience with others.My hope is that it grows into a supportive community where friendships are formed, confidence grows, and one day, our shared journeys are celebrated through an annual exhibition.If you have any questions about the group or are thinking of joining, feel free to email me:
