All in creativity courses
The only way to grow is to expand your thinking. I’ve invested in myself many times over even when I didn’t have the money upfront. It has always paid off although I couldn’t see the outcome at the start. Gamble on your creativity - for hard work and investing in yourself pay off.
Performing, whether it is to a group of small children, or on stage under the lights - I think it’s always been in my blood. Storytelling in whatever form is about connecting with people on a heart level. Now I run my online courses and workshops and connect with women from all over the world.
My mother would never have termed herself a ‘creative’. Yet our house was filled with generations of creative artefacts, embroideries and tapestries that she and my grandmother and great aunts had made. That creativity runs through me as I today I see my daughter taking up the mantle, my granddaughters as well. Creativity is a spiritual connection that connects us to ourselves and the cosmos.
How carved radishes in Mexico can inspire a potato peeling art event in Australia is one of the memories I have unpacked as I prepare to run my free 5 day Armchair Art and Travel mini course. Now, when we can't travel anywhere, these travel memories give rise to new artworks made from maps, tickets and other paper ephemera collections.
I am preparing my Dare to Create course, gathering inspiration, hunting and gathering from life experience as ideas turn into actions. Being creative is a little like being a weird little beast. You are inspired by seemingly random things which later turn into works of art. Its about follow small intuitive steps steps and trusting the creative process.
