Following his acclaimed project Carnival Cocoon, Miller unveils music from his forthcoming orchestral album Hello Pain — a powerful journey of healing and rebirth. Joined by violinist, arranger, and orchestrator Cierra Alise Hill, whose lush string work and dynamic presence elevate the performance, the concert fuses raw emotion with sweeping, symphonic storytelling. Intimate yet epic, Miller’s piano and voice remain the heart of a sound that transforms vulnerability into beauty.

A vision board is a group of images, photographs, pictures that are laid out on a board that please the eye of the creator and then attached with a glue stick. It allows the creator to imagine what is next; what is coming or what is possible in a person’s life! It’s a fun way to think about the new year and open up possibilities. By the end of class, participants will go home with a 15 x 20 Crescent Collage Board filled with images, words, colors and feelings that uplift their spirits to bring positive energy for themselves and those around them in 2026.

Class Cancelled Making a Spirit Journey Doll with Cheri Bunker

Instructor: Cheri Bunker
Saturday, January 24

Tuition: $55 members / $60 non-members
All materials included

We welcome back Cheri Bunker to the Winona Arts Center on January 24 from 12:30 to 3:30 to create our own Journey Spirit Dolls through a blend of meditation, creativity, and intuitive expression. We begin with a guided meditation to connect with your Spirit: Who is she? What does she represent?
Your Spirit Doll’s limbs and body will be crafted from beautiful tree branches gathered in the Driftless Area. Her form can be shaped with fiber, fabric, or a combination of both. Molded faces will be available to paint, or you may choose from pre-painted air-dried clay faces. Finish her with flowing fiber hair and adornments that reflect her essence. If you have something special you’d like to include—an object, charm, or keepsake—feel free to bring it.
No experience is necessary—just come, explore, and enjoy. Class length: 3 hours.
