Writers and Artists GET-AWAY

This is an extraordinary opportunity for WCDR members to be part of an exciting cultural event.
An opportunity not only for The Writers' Circle of Durham Region, but all writers and artists.

KAREN BIGELOW, one of the founders of WCDR, has spent the last several years pursuing her other passion, painting. Today she is recognized as an exceptional artist, specializing in various techniques – acrylic, silverpoint, watercolour.

Her work has been featured in juried art exhibitions and a variety of local galleries. In 2010, her silverpoint "Badlands of Alberta" was accepted into the Canadian National Landscapes Exhibition.

In her search for inspiration, she has discovered a place that both fuels and nurtures her creative spirit - San Miguel de Allende, a beautiful Colonial town in the mountains of Central Mexico - a cultural hub for anyone who puts pen to paper or picks up a brush.

Now she would like to share her artistic passions with other writers and artists.

Join Karen in her artistic quest as she takes you to her favourite places. COME WALK WITH ME is a 15-day excursion to San Miguel de Allende that coincides with the town’s annual writers’ conference.
