In her own words:
Training at Arscura School for Living Art was challenging for me. With no art background, I had to move beyond “judging” my “art” before I could understand what the process could show me. I had to meet and accept many difficult aspects of myself. But in those initial journeys through my inner landscape, I found the connection to the deep source that we all have as human beings—the creative or spiritual dimension of ourselves.
Biography Work and learning through an art process allow us to use our hearts and minds to gain insight and self-knowledge. I believe that these approaches can help us trust ourselves and the truth of our own experiences so that we can break free of repeated patterns and find a more creative path through life.
