Find Your Bliss!
Unleash Your Creativity
I believe everybody is creative at some level of their being. Given the opportunity to express it can be a wonderful journey of self-discovery. I can say this because I never knew I was creative until I explored art and photography in my twenties.
Ever since then, I have blossomed into the individual I was meant to be, not who I was brought up to be. I have been fortunate to make a 35-year career from my creativity and want to share it.
My intention is to provide a deeply satisfying soulfully enriching experience that brings joy and peace to each participant. These online playshops are an opportunity to deepen or to begin the journey to reconnect to your innately whole inner self.
