Windows of Lent: Reflective Painting Class
Offered at North Scottsdale United Methodist Church
North Scottsdale United Methodist Church invites the community to a reflective and creative Lenten experience, Windows of Lent: A Painting Class, on Sunday, March 22, from 11:15 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the church Fellowship Hall.
This guided painting class invites participants to create an image of a window—a meaningful symbol of light, hope, and holy longing. During the season of Lent, windows encourage us to pause, look honestly at where we are, and notice where God’s light is already breaking into our lives.
The class will be led by Jana Peterson, a professional painter known for merging art and technology. Peterson is a contemporary artist with corporate, national, and international painting clientele. Her work has been included in the museum collection at Scottsdale Center for the Arts and displayed in fine galleries. She has also been commissioned to paint murals for the Arizona Science Museum and Scottsdale Center for the Arts.
Peterson’s past exhibitions include Grady Gammage, West Valley Art Museum (Great Architecture...Inner Visions), Herberger Theatre, Scottsdale Center for the Arts, Norway’s Marknaden (2006–2022), Paradise Valley City Hall (Artist of the Year), and a solo exhibit at the Chandler Center for the Arts. Most recently, her work has been exhibited in Reykjavik, Iceland, and at Norway House in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
“I want my work to leave an impression—to evoke emotion, to inspire, excite, renew, and change the inner being,” Peterson said. She comes from a family of artists and teachers, bringing both professional depth and a welcoming, instructional approach to her work.
No prior painting experience is required. Participants are encouraged to come just as they are, ready to create and reflect. All materials are provided. The cost to participate is $15, and space is limited.
