Anyone who has attended one of my classes, workshops or retreats knows that I do more than just teach people how to draw and paint. There’s more to this whole creativity thing that we do…every week…month after month…..year after year. And I have been feeling this call to do more, say more, be more seen and heard….
What do I “really” mean when I say things like, “breathe” and “ how does that make you feel?”
and Why don’t I just teach art?....
(Just the facts ma’am)......
Because that’s not who I am !
I have experienced years of push back and challenges because I choose not to "define" what I do in the "art world, in the classroom and in the studio"
...This has left people to define it for me and I think it's time for me to shed some light on this.
I am an expressive intuitive visual artist...... I have the skill and talent to create "pretty" pictures like landscapes and wildlife and things that I truly love. BUT....
When I am happiest and most authentic in my creative process?......I really and truly feel at home when I just let all that go....When I JUST PAINT!
....I feel free, connected and empowered.....
This is what I teach! This comes so naturally to me that I struggle offering "standard art classes" and basic "how-tos" and the "all too popular, paint parties".
