Artists occasionally venture in my studio to paint and share insight.<\/h3>\n

The most fearless ones, are frequently the tiniest.<\/h3>\n

In my Free Ebook- we recapture how we felt playing as children, exploring with different mediums & tools.<\/h4>\n

Being brave with our brushstrokes.Confident in our choices.<\/h4>\n

As we age, we hesitate, we procrastinate,we fear criticism. We fear failure.<\/h4>\n

Artistic activity is something to outgrow,some say.<\/h4>\n

I am convinced art skills are transferable in life.Creativity is the new currency.\u00a0http:\/\/www.theuncommonlife.com\/blog\/new-currency-imagination\/<\/a><\/h4>\n

Art is an effective tool for communication, presenting new perspectives. It can fuel intuition, improve our memory, and create tolerance.<\/h4>\n

Music, theatre, visual art, and storytelling enrich our lives.<\/h4>\n

\u00a0“I wanted to send you a picture of my drawing.I want to share this with you because you were the one who really inspired me to just draw and forget about making it perfect. Thank you so much!” Lauren (14).<\/em><\/p>\n

Confidence teens gain with encouragement reaches beyond their easel.<\/h4>\n

Mary Kate (12) Now at 15, an award winning writer<\/p>\n

\u00a0In author\u00a0Janna G. Noelle’s blog, she writes about artists sharing commonalities. “Artists imitate each other”,she explains. http:\/\/occupiedandpreoccupied.wordpress.com\/2013\/09\/02\/why-writers-should-spend-time-with-other-types-of-artists\/<\/a><\/h4>\n

In the spirit of camaraderie we embolden each other to excel in our pursuits. I discovered this on expedition with talented Julia Hargreaves<\/a>.<\/h4>\n

I have watched adults rediscover their passion, witnessed others awaken collecting art that moves them.<\/h4>\n

The tiny ones inspire with their unapologetic, enthusiastic~ unleashed creativity.<\/h4>\n

Inspiration is everywhere.<\/em><\/h3>\n

Fearless discovery in ART isn’t child’s play, it’s essential.\u00a0<\/em><\/h3>\n
