Deep Painting

Last weekend I had the pleasure of facilitating another Painting With Your Muse intuitive painting workshop here in Toronto. Each time its a new experience for me as I shift the format with lessons learned in between these workshops.  I’m forever a student, taking in new information and layering it, weaving it into each workshop […]

Letting Go into Creative Flow

In February I ran my Painting with Your Muse intuitive painting workshop with another wonderful group of  muses.  It has been five years since I began running this workshop and for more than 20 years that I have been following an intuitive process myself when painting. There is a flow state that happens when one follows their intuition this […]

Virtually Creative

  On Friday I held space for another Live Virtual Art Circle.  After taking a break from the live circles over the summer it was nice to share the energy with those creatives who joined me.  As usual I opened the circle with a favorite quote and an intention setting meditation.  This quote speaks to […]

Permission is Key

        A few weekends ago I enjoyed guiding a group of muses in a Painting with your Muse workshop here in Toronto where we had the perfect weather -it was pouring rain outside. I say it was “Perfect” because rainy days are known to limit our choices of what to do. In […]

Pleasure in the Process

  What is art but an expression of self? Technique can be a part of art but does not have to be. Ask any child. Young children will create without worrying how it is going to turn out. They are process oriented, scribbling because it feels good. They will paint something one minute, then paint […]

Creative Blocks Q & A

Today I wanted to share with you some of the questions from the Ways to Connect With Your Muse webinar and my responses: How does the process of breaking any walls inside of you go? What should we be doing from our side in order to be aligned with the process so we seek what […]
