Join Nicole Harp in a new workshop for both artists and non-artists alike!

The best art is emotionally driven and comes from the heart. This workshop is all about getting out of heads and into our heart through tapping into a beingโ€™s energy or consciousness, the love and light each soul comes into this world with. We will focus on connecting to the pure energy in each of us that might have been forgotten, pushed away, shamed, closed off, due to false baggage, limiting beliefs, conditioning, family patterns, societal conditions, cultural pain or trauma.

This is a transformative artistic journey, where you will recognize and honor the beauty within each soul. ๐“๐ก๐ซ๐จ๐ฎ๐ ๐ก ๐ ๐ฎ๐ข๐๐ž๐ ๐ฆ๐ž๐๐ข๐ญ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง, ๐ซ๐ž๐Ÿ๐ฅ๐ž๐œ๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ž ๐ฐ๐ซ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ , ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐ฎ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ž ๐ž๐ฑ๐ž๐ซ๐œ๐ข๐ฌ๐ž๐ฌ, ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎโ€™๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐œ๐ซ๐ž๐š๐ญ๐ž ๐š โ€œ๐’๐จ๐ฎ๐ฅ ๐๐š๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ โ€โ€”๐š ๐จ๐ง๐ž-๐จ๐Ÿ-๐š-๐ค๐ข๐ง๐, ๐œ๐จ๐ฅ๐จ๐ซ-๐ซ๐ข๐œ๐ก ๐ž๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ซ๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐š ๐›๐ž๐ข๐ง๐ โ€™๐ฌ ๐ฎ๐ง๐ข๐ช๐ฎ๐ž ๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ž๐ง๐œ๐ž. This workshop is for those who want to paint from an intuitive place, emotional place and place of peace. This is also for those processing grief, healing from trauma, or seeking insight into their lifeโ€™s purpose.

No artistic experience is needed; this experience is about self-discovery, insight, and honoring each soulโ€™s unique โ€œdesign.โ€

Materials used will be 8×10 canvas board and oil pastels. Instruction will be given on composition and basic material usage for oil pastels.

From Ashes to New

November 2 2025

6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.
The NorVa 317 Monticello Ave, Norfolk, VA 23510 (757) 627-4547 Price: Price may vary- tickets go on sale: Friday, June 13, at 10:00 a.m.

In a small town, you either die where you came from or dream your way out. From Ashes To New understand this choice. As such, the Lancaster, PA bandโ€”Matt Brandyberry [rap vocals, keys, synths, programming, guitar], Danny Case [clean & unclean vocals], Lance Dowdle [lead guitar], and Mat Madiro [drums]โ€”churn out an anthemic hybrid of hard rock, hip-hop, electronic, and alternative with enough energy to inspire you to get up, move forward, and maybe even, make a change. Since 2013, the group have risen from humble beginnings to the top of the 21stย century rock vanguard with hundreds of millions of streams, sold out shows across the country, and acclaim from LoudWire, Alternative Press, and more.

 

โ€œGrowing up in Elizabethtown, PA felt hopeless in a way,โ€ admits Matt. โ€œYou go to college and become part of corporate America, or youโ€™re just โ€œtrashโ€. ย For the longest time, I fell into the latter category according to other people. My mentality was, โ€˜Who are these people to fucking tell me what Iโ€™m going to do with my life?โ€™ They donโ€™t make my decisions; I make decisions for myself. It took a lot of ups and downs, but itโ€™s paying off. I owe it to the small town blue-collar mentality that made me work harder. Danny grew up in Rochester, but his story is the same. We were the loners picked last. Everyone underestimated us. We fought through it for all of our lives, and weโ€™re going to be picked first now.โ€

 

โ€œI was always an outcast who nobody gave a shit about,โ€ agrees Danny. โ€œThe only thing I ever dreamt of was music. Like the other guys in From Ashes to New, nobody was going to tell me otherwise or stop me.โ€

 

During 2021, the musicians holed up in Lancaster with longtime collaborators and producers Grant McFarland and Carson Slovak to create their upcoming album. ย This time around, the band made a conscious decision to ignore outside influences and focus on what makes them From Ashes To New.

 

โ€œWe werenโ€™t going to let other people tell us what to do,โ€ affirms Danny. โ€œWe went back to the guys who produced us for a long time, because they worked cohesively with us.โ€

 

โ€œWe got back to the days of creating music to simply create,โ€ adds Matt. โ€œWe ended up making the most genuine piece of art we could. At the same time, we applied everything weโ€™ve learned as musicians, producers, and writers. We knew we were capable of doing everything bigger and better.โ€
