The
Process
"Paint
to connect to your feelings, to the flow of life, to
all that is you. Wow!.”
Pamela
Have
you ever considered painting but stopped because you
believed that you had no talent…or weren’t
creative? Or
have you stopped yourself for fear of being judged or
not measuring up somehow?
Are you an experienced artist who has found yourself
feeling stuck and longing to take more risks? I invite you to challenge those notions that
keep you from tapping into a rich reservoir of
creative energy.
Process
painting offers
opportunities for:
Those
engaged in healing work.
The creative blocks encountered offer wonderful
insights and experiences that can support and catalyze
life changes and healing.
Artists.
Having the opportunity to create in a safe environment
free of the pressure of product and judgment can
overcome "blocks, challenge convention, and
rekindle creative flow.
Spiritual
seekers.
The process asks that you stay present, trust, and
open to the mystery of your being. It is truly
an active meditation.
Imagine
painting from a place of freedom, a place of awe and
discovery, a childlike place. Imagine this place
to be one where wonderful, healing, and mysterious
happenings occur. I invite you to enter
into the mystery and experience painting as a
spiritual journey into the unknown.
Historically, in many if not all cultures, creative
expression was not relegated to a few
"gifted" members of the culture. It
was the domain of all, intricately interwoven
into the fabric of daily life. Creativity was
experienced as an
energetic life force, a river that flows through us
all and connects us to something larger than
ourselves. artspace is dedicated to creating a
safe place to explore this vital life energy. It
is a center for creative expression and healing.
At
artspace you will be encouraged and supported to
embark on a journey of self-discovery and exploration.
You need only bring your willingness to play,
to take risks, and to be wherever and whomever you are.
You will be supported to trust your intuition
and to respect your unique expression. You will use paint as a sensual, colorful, playful
medium to experience your creative process.
With
process painting, it is not the destination but the journey that
is important. The journey is the destination.
You will therefore be encouraged to let go of
product and experience the freedom of process, a
place where there are no mistakes, no rules,
and no experience is required.
The process encourages spontaneity, trust, and
learning to be in the moment, embracing all that is
your unique being.
Challenge your inner critic as you let go of
product.
There
is a wild and playful place inside that longs to find
expression. Dare to journey to a place where untold gifts and surprises
await you.
Whether beginner or experienced artist you will
be challenged to explore new places that will bring
you closer to what is truly yours.
Embrace the unknown while creating your own
authentic art. There is nothing to accomplish…no place to get
to…nothing to fix!
Just let yourself explore what happens when you
put brush to paint to paper and let yourself play.
Creative expression, the ebb and
flow of souls footprints, belongs to all. Give yourself permission and you will discover
the power of the creative process!
Experience

Increase awareness to stories and
judgments that limit
Awaken your connection to your inner
voice

fears, take risks, embrace "what is"
Learn to follow your energy
