art 4 play: May 2010
http://art4play.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Art heals, art works, art makes happy. Sunday, May 30, 2010. The weather has been spectacular these last few days in Chicago, perfect for a holiday weekend. I am blessed to live in a very wooded area outside the city, surrounded by huge 100 year-old trees, heaven for my spirit. Nature has become as important to me as air. The other day I took a walk and thought, what if I continued my "looking" practice by looking for one great splash of each color in the spectrum? And then there was V:. I hope you've en...

Art heals, art works, art makes happy. Tuesday, August 24, 2010. Then I remembered that was not was this is about. I started this blog to hold myself accountable on a new path, a truly creative path, into the truth of the moment, whatever that may bring. To have the courage to dive naked into my deepest creative self, and the creative spirit in others, as I pursue a course of study in Art Therapy.which by the way, begins next week. I am in the room, and it is OK. Sunday, August 8, 2010. Sometimes it's ju...

art 4 play: December 2010
http://art4play.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Art heals, art works, art makes happy. Saturday, December 25, 2010. I lost a few months here, in the adjustment to being back in school, but now I'm back here, back to myself again, and happy to be here. I found myself getting very involved with every single line in my skin, which there are many more of these days. My fingernails are full of ridges and flaws beyond repair. As I noticed each detail and recorded it, I accepted it without thought: just another detail of me. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Thing...

art 4 play: July 2010
http://art4play.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Art heals, art works, art makes happy. Monday, July 19, 2010. Sunday, July 18, 2010. Another Eye of the Needle. Does this look creative to you? I know, I know, nothing creative about statistics. But it's the final prerequisite before my Masters Program in Art Therapy begins next month. And it's the hardest thing I've ever done: completely left-brain, a language as alien to me as Chinese. And I do have an art piece I want to do on this subject.so there is inspiration everywhere. Everywhere! There is a bea...

art 4 play: More Tree Love
http://art4play.blogspot.com/2011/10/more-tree-love.html
Art heals, art works, art makes happy. Saturday, October 22, 2011. It's the high season of tree love for me, so I thought I'd belatedly share some pages from a fantastic Tree Journal workshop I participated in this summer with Orly Avineri, a wonderful artist, teacher and friend whom I love deeply. Also, this beautiful poem:. I wish to grow dumber,. To slip deep into woods that grow blinder. With each step I take,. Until the fingers let go of their numbers. And the hands are finally ignorant as paws.

art 4 play: April 2010
http://art4play.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Art heals, art works, art makes happy. Thursday, April 29, 2010. If we don't change, we don't grow. If we don't grow, we aren't really living.". And too, when was the last time I made such a leap? Not since I graduated college in 1976 and moved to Chicago to build my own adult life. I miss the aliveness of creating a life, of taking risks, of trying new things. I believe it is possible at any age, and I am going for it now while I still can. What will my impact be? What changes do you long to make? Ring ...

art 4 play: Lessons From Trees
http://art4play.blogspot.com/2011/07/lessons-from-trees.html
Art heals, art works, art makes happy. Thursday, July 28, 2011. I have always felt safe and at home among trees, our wise green elders. They know how to naturally bend and sway when there’s trouble in the air. They have seen it all and even so, they endure, they persevere. They teach me to do the same. 8221; Grabbing my backpack, cell phone, keys and emergency rain poncho, I threw myself in a small car with four other people I didn’t know, relieved to have company. What if I had arrived ten minutes later?
