CREATIVE EXPRESSION

My own journey has always been based upon continual exploration and experimentation, as well as my responses to both positive and negative experiences that have been tossed my way.

For 30+ years, I taught a wide range of subjects at the college level. After about 10 years in traditional lecture halls and studios, I began teaching online and have enjoyed  that immensely.

I am among the few people I know who can honestly say they have loved their work for so many years. The secret is in figuring out what you love doing, being open to change and considering all  opportunities even when you aren't sure they are opportunities. You won't go wrong if you  stay open to possibilities and listen to your heart.

• Many brilliant ideas in all subjects can begin with a doodle or a scribble. Jot down ALL ideas that come to you, even those that don't seem relevant
• You can transform your life through creative expression
• What exactly is ‘constructive’ about criticism Anything? 
• Today's "hard facts" are probably different from tomorrow's
• Listen to yourself first and then to others
• Experiment, explore, create and never stop!

You are going to find your way if you are open to doing so and recognizing when to take a new direction or stop and be still for a while. There is no universal blueprint; we each have our very own.

Sometimes this is a real struggle, other times things seem to just fall into place. 

We all struggle at times, some more than others. What deeply affects one person may not even be noticed by another and we each have to recognize and follow our own rhythm.

"LIVING with your GRIEF"

I will be offering an online  workshop specifically for women who have lost a child. Whether you are an experienced artist or a beginner and are dealing with unfathomable grief as I find myself doing on a daily basis,  this may be for you!

STAY TUNED!
