Arts In Wayne: Meet our Healing Arts Director, Dreamweaver!

Dreamweaver had a diverse past that took him throughout the United States working as an electronic engineer after serving in the Navy during the Vietnam war. He studied art at Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo, Michigan and Lake Michigan Community College, studied glass blowing, and researched the Mayan culture throughout Mexico. He designed and built parade floats in Santa Ana and Pasadena California and was Art Director for the City of Santa Ana.

After returning to N.C. he restored historic homes and founded the non-profit Grandpa’s Children, Inc. Under the non-profit he trained “at risk” youth in museum quality restoration; was founding director of Plum Tree Market Place and Community Gardens, which offered free vendor space to Wayne County residents to sell organic produce, fine arts and crafts, and home produced items; taught food production students from Wayne School of Engineering and other Wayne County residents in the community gardens; built a greenhouse to save heritage seeds; and presented an American Indian festival each November for Native American Month.

We are honored to have Dreamweaver lead our Healing Arts Program! Our scheduled events below include: The Saturday following each First Friday, beginning October 7th, we will host the Star Healers Circle. Every Monday, beginning October 9th, we will host Mindful Mondays.

Every Wednesday, beginning October 11th, we will host Wellness Wednesdays.
