The creative and artistic impulse exists within each of us. It is part of our spirit. Even if you haven't picked up a paintbrush since grade school, your desire to express yourself creatively is expressed daily, throughout your home and garden, even in the choices you make when you get dressed.
Every child is an artist. The question is how to remain an artist once we grow up.

Living and Painting Outside the Lines
The creative and artistic impulse exists within each of us. It is part of our spirit. Even if you haven't picked up a paintbrush since grade school, your desire to express yourself creatively is expressed daily, throughout your home and garden, even in the choices you make when you get dressed.
In my workshops we practice communicating visually while expanding our definition of art, which in turn helps us explore our own creativity. The environment nurtures a safe haven for this process, so my classes are encouraging, free from judgment, and punctuated with Chardonnay breaks. Tapping into our inner resources, we can begin to explore and discover.
