I love to do art.
Several years ago a favorite life teacher of mine suggested that I paint my dreams. I have vivid dreams with strong images. I hadn’t painted much in my life so I appreciated this idea, because no one would have any expectation of how the images should look. These beginning paintings opened a window for me into creativity. I think I have always been creative in my work and my life, but I had not recognized creativity for its part in what makes me feel alive, vibrant, and whole. Creativity has allowed me to rediscover a wholeness in myself that I had forgotten. Art and creativity have become a significant part of my life, filtering into every aspect.
