How you create your image is very individualized. There are NO WRONG ANSWERS. Your images are like the friends you meet along the trail in a park. To give feedback and support as you explore your creative journey. Sometimes I might suggest materials or a particular approach, but you are always welcome to work on anything you choose. I can give “invitations” for art making (projects that will help you explore a particular theme or goal) or support you in making intuitive art. I usually start with a check-in and move into metaphor with a poem or guided meditation. We have work time, which sometimes includes writing prompts. Often art takes us to unexpected places! Then we witness each other’s work and share our experiences about the process. The work we create and the emotions that sometimes come up can be profound and always very personal. You are the expert on your art. I don’t interpret, assume, diagnose, or critique.
“Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.” Thomas Merton
