Thanks to all who have wandered through our doors! It's been wonderful making new friends in our new location…above ground! 

Our doors are always open-unless I'm with a private client or group, so we've had many spontaneous gatherings at the round table with all ages learning from one another. Mentorship is exactly what The Spark is about,,,and that concept goes both ways! As adults we forget how much we can learn from those younger than us, especially in the realm of creativity.  I've learned to let go of my ego watching Gerry Michel and his band of AWESOME young artist's, draw at a high school level!! 

Our Awakening the Painter Within circle began last Monday and I have to say, these women are fierce. Witnessing their willingness to dive into the process and the void…and BE with what unfolds is simply…STUNNING! 

Wander in…have a seat…pick up a brush, pen or pencil…maybe even some clay. Stay awhile…and relax in the warm nurturing environment, using your imagination and meeting new friends….

Here are a few scenes from The Spark!
