Here are some great takeaways from this episode:
- Being with a community of other artistic people is a great experience.
- Intuitive painting is using the process of painting to explore your inner world.
- Creative expression is a tool to assist in healing.
- She teaches intuitive painting on paper rather than canvas so that her students won’t worry about messing up good supplies. This gives them tremendous freedom.
- When you’re painting intuitively, it’s not coming from your head, it’s coming from your heart.
- Marketing is simply letting people know what you do, so don’t be afraid of it.
- When people paint together in the studio, they are gaining community and they get support and they get celebrated.
- She’d like to remind people that creativity heals and it’s a way for you to become more fully alive.
