Creativity Heals; Joy Starts with a Few Brushstrokes

One of my absolute favorite things to do…hang out in my garden and paint!

Most people think of me as a happy-go-lucky, cheerful, hard-working person. Usually I am. But a long while back I was in quite a low place, that I thought I’d never climb out of. What finally got me out? Painting….and the encouragement of a couple of artist friends at that time.

I’m grateful to have ‘made the newspaper’ today in an interview with Emma Palzere-Rae of our local Times paper. She does a good job telling my story, so I hope you’ll follow the link and have a read, Creativity Heals.

f you’ve ever pondered the thought, “I wish I could paint” , allow yourself to go a little further. Quit squelching the desire! You DO have the capacity to learn this, and enjoy it immensely! Many of my students who start out a bit on the timid side, are quite surprised when they are “swept- off- their- feet-obsessed” with the fun of watercolor. With some direction and gentle guidance you can be enjoying this, and finding a new way of your own to express yourself!
