Creativity lowers
stress and builds
Confidence.
Creative and Fun art classes can
give you a sense of connection to your inner world. They let you
express yourself through color, texture
and touch.
With each stroke of the brush,
stitch of the needle, strand of beads...you create a connection to
your dreams and desires. This is where healing takes place and
where you find your "true
north".
"I don't want
to get to the end of my life and find that I lived just the length
of it. I want to have lived the width of it as well.
"
Come live the "width" of your life and learn a new
Fun Art! Classes Start next week. |

Greetings!
Can you believe it....Summer has ended!
Fall is soon upon us and we will be looking for some fun activities
to get us through the next season.
I am happy to say that I am expanding my ciriculum and
including some new workshops and classes that promise to be
interesting. I have been gathering new techniques and thinking
about my journey as an artist and wondering...
"How does creativity heal and why does art-making
matter?"
My connections with other artists and students have been
amazing this past year and I feel connected with the community here
in the Rockland area and also the on-line community.
For the past 8 months I have been busy with 2 on-line marketing
classes that have helped me to put things in order. They made me
look at my art-making skills as something that needed to be shared
with others.
So it is with Enthusiasm that I write
this.....and it is with Courage that I
"EMERGE".
"The
act of creating starts with the act of doing. The rest will come.
"
Creatively,
