Why did I decide to do this workshop? Because when things get too much as they often do in this crazy world we live in I grab a piece of paper and my pens and start to draw.
The peace that washes over me is way too amazing to describe, but I know, that for just a while I can switch off my brain and just let my pen do the talking. It could be for 5 minutes or it could be all day.
If you have read the rest of my website you will notice that my artwork and the riddles are now appearing more and more. It took me a long time to realise that what I needed in life was in me all along – I just didn't know it.
Creative expression for meditation, relaxation, problem solving and stress relief can and does encompass many forms – artwork, drawing, painting, sculpting, writing, music, dance – it literally is any way that you can express yourself creatively.
Anything, which can make you an individual, with individual thoughts, ideas and ultimately as I said problem solving and stress relief. Because, seriously, who wants to go through life worrying about the slightest thing. Believe me I have been there, seen it, done it and got the t-shirt!
Many people say to me but I cannot draw! My answer is what is drawing? You don't have to be a Monet or Constable to be able to be an artist. I cannot see half of what other people see in my artwork and on many occasions they cannot see what I see – who is right and who is wrong – the answer – no one. It is like everything in this world it's a matter of perspective.
