Inspirations

 

Artist Representative Emeritus – My Foundational Professional Career. Love of Illustration and Visual Language. 

The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron. 30th Anniversary Edition. The “Concept of the Artist’s Date” led me to explore all of the New York City art museums such as the MoMA Museum of Modern Art leading to my reimagining of my professional life, life long learning and specialization in museum expressive arts. 

Time in Creative Space
Time away from our ordinary personal and professional environments  in creative  space, engaging with encounters of original art in the museum context allows us to connect to ourselves – to discover our original voice, potential, and story. Our being in the world transforms.
