Making art, regardless of experience, is an invitation to explore, express, and honor the holistic call to create.

In the making, we discover so much more than what is made.

In the creative process, we SEE and feel connections.

We Come Alive… to our joy & wholeness, to our inseparable relationship with nature (creation), and to the experiences both within and beyond our own perspectives.

We see the preciousness of our embodied and spiritual lives joining, holding space, and transforming with the currents of creative energy.

We feel into the perspective and gifts that are uniquely ours to nurture and share.

In the making of art, we fall into a rhythm with presence, weaving material with spirited curiosity, intuition with instinct, experience with beginner’s mind, and our past with what is and what we will be.

It is both simple and not easy, a challenge and fun. Deceptively arbitrary to those who do not get it, and deeply meaningful to those who DO.

It can seem unexpected, as we are making what calls us - or standing before something that moves us - to find our soul feels a little more seen, connected or set free somehow.

Something RESONATES in our wholeness.

We encounter a creational intimacy in art, and remember who we are, in our joy, our depth and our truth.

We may even discover that “Art transcends the practical and resonates within the structure of our consciousness that was designed to apprehend or recognize the Sacred,” as my father once wrote to me.
