Overview

Art mirrors our inner state in ways that are meaningful and mysterious. Creativity is central to feeling alive.

Nancy Hillis, M.D.

Are you an artist tired of feeling blocked from expressing onto the canvas the art that lives deep within you?

It's later than you think.

You don't want to come to your final moments regretting your un-lived dreams.

You've got paintings inside you waiting to be expressed.

You know that, while you could keep repeating what's worked before in your art, this is a kind of soul death.

You want to experiment, take risks and explore your deepest self expression.

You want to wrestle down your self doubts and inner criticism and finally create the paintings of your dreams- paintings that wow and astonish you.

You want to express YOU in your art.

You don't want to play it safe anymore.

The worst thing you could do as an artist is to avoid experimentation.

Art is about exploring wonder and the unknown, the terra incognita of the soul.

Painting is a mirror. It brings up everything, especially fear and yearning.
