My Journey
began in the dessert...
I knew the universe was supporting me when I attended a Healing Through Intuition Painting® retreat in Joshua Tree, CA. It was an invitation to explore my rich inner world through a unique creative process in a safe and judgement free space where value is placed on the process not the final product. I had never painted something so authentically me before. It was transformational.
I’ve spent most of my life trying to fit into a box I knew wasn’t meant for me. I so wanted to follow the rules but something inside of me knew a better way, a truer way, a way uniquely my own that will never fit in “the Box”
I am called by all things creative: art, music, storytelling, nature, patterns… I loose myself in the beauty I see and emotions I feel.
Other than a few art classes and workshops, I am mostly self-taught. I never felt called to go to Art School. What I felt was a calling to learn, explore and create! It seemed random and purposeless but it was fun. I thought my calling meant I had to become an Artist for it to be purposeful. The anxiety I felt around trying to be worthy of that title was crippling and took a lot of the fun out of the experience. So I focused on the learning, exploring and creating because this filled my soul like nothing else.
At age 54, the final piece fell into it’s place and I understood my calling was never to “become” something. It is to embrace my authentic nature as a creative being, receive all the healing that creativity offers and to share what I know with others.
MY CALLING
Is to create a safe space for healing through creative exploration.
Answering the Call...
I’ve always heard the call to create from deep within me. I thought it was calling me to become an “artist”. Answering this call brought up great fear and self-doubt but after a time I understood the call was not to become something. It was to fully embrace my authentic nature as a Creative and to explore the healing properties that creativity has for me.
“I was surprised at how the painting developed, and what it revealed to me. It really was a great experience of letting go and just letting the paintbrush tell the story. The suggestion for me to paint with my non dominant hand was a game changer.”
