The soul's story is at the end of your creative fingertips!


Angel unaware is the title of this watercolor donated to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation auction in Lexington, Kentucky once upon a time. It came from a deep soul place within that believes we are all connected to one another and one soul story affects another. Creating is soul work.....it speaks to the hearts of others regardless of the barrier of language, time, gender, political leanings or social standing. From the ancient pottery shards to petroglyphs painted on stony cliffs.....to Calder's modern mobile's and Pollack's paintings.....we are connected by our creative souls. Dipping into our well of creativity is personal...we cannot tell another's story....only our own. Drawing up those stories, our traits, experience and personal perspective is our creative journey.....flawed, but authentic.....skewed by our upbringing perhaps, but perfectly legitimate. Embracing our sacred story and that of one another is the open door to expressing our creativity perhaps.
