I so appreciate using art as an own therapy and just play in the present moment without any agenda to create something more then enjoying the process of creating and feeling what’s moving inside of me.

Like this picture I painted where an unloved, chaotic, thorny little creature in the left end corner showed up, feeling the darkness around it, and realizing how much it was just asking for acceptance and love, not needing to be anything else.

And in the process, I discovered new ways to make marks that really spoke to me, that I enjoyed doing, that I enjoy seeing in the end result.

This may not be a painting that I would frame, but it moved energy for me and connected me with my inner world in such a valuable way.

That’s what my “in the clearing” creative workshops are all about, to hold space for others to connect to their inner world, enjoy the creative process for itself with permission to express in any way that feels good, right and develop a practice that elevate our vibration and wellbeing. A way to become the creators of our own lives.

I wanted to thank Angela Fehr for the inspiration and her approach of her art, encouraging exploration, enjoyment of the process and seeking the even smallest areas of a painting that we love – one brushstroke, one mark maybe – that feeds our inner artist and invite more expressive creativity to come forth.
