Creativity as a Spiritual Path

Creativity Portal 3Spontaneous creativity as in the various modalites of expressive art, if we let it, can be a relationship to that which is beyond our ordinary consciousness. When we listen deeper inside and let our self-expression lead us what sometimes can seem like chaotic and random directions we are led into a larger, more passionate and alive part of ourselves. Sometimes we need to express things in a picture or a poem that is beyond our normal comprehension.

True creativity is something that we have not thought of before. It comes a surprise and it moves us in unexplainable and mysterious ways. Pure creation is unlimited. It is a kind of Divine communication. Spontaneous expression is a way to honor and access your intuition and open you up to what you do not know yet. May your creative spirit bloom through the inspirations on this site.

I offer world-wide online expressive art teaching and counselling services to help you get started on the road to authentic, spontaneous creative self-expression as well as an array of online expressive art courses at:

Intuitive Drawing

  • Letting Go
    Intuitive drawing is an immediate way to tap into the mystery of your life below the everyday happenings. It is helpful to take time to quiet your mind and go into your body before you draw. Allow your pen to move without giving it much thought. Ask questions. Listen for messages. They are always surprising and just below your conscious thought.

Psychology

Collage Journal

  • Flowering
    Collage journaling is vivid and magical. It never takes long to gather a pile of images and words. Journals are a place to gather insights and inner directions on what to do next. Collage journal pages playfully sneak under your limited and conditioned ways of seeing my life and lead you to a higher vision for yourself.

Self-Discovery Cards

  • Finding Our Way Home
    Each Self-Discovery card is an exploration into what you do not clearly see about yourself. Every collage card reveals an aspect of your soul and psyche. By visually seeing the masks that you wear and the patterns of thinking and feeling that help and hinder you, you become able to integrate all the fragmented aspects of yourself so that you can be more effective in life.

Mini Collages

  • Love
    These are small playful collages. 4"x6". The aim is to experiment and play and to work quickly with color, composition, shape and pattern. These are an exploration of what you might find beautiful, joyful and delightful using paint and collage. A contemplation on beauty to carry through your day.

Spontaneous Pastels

  • Out of the Box
    This is a series of mark making with pastel crayons. An innocent, intuitive exploration of color and spontaneity. A playing with crayons, much like a child, these drawings are a visual meditation which can draw you into mystery. Ask your drawings what they have to tell you and they speak back through your intuition...guiding you.

Art Journals

  • Spreading Wings
    Art journals are a form of devotion. They are experimental and a great place to explore new materials and techniques. An excellent way to record a creative and immediate life.
