The excitement this week is that my art teacher Shiloh Sophia McCloud is in New York this week and addressed the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women on March 4, 2013. She presented a slideshow that featured 42 artists from Color of Woman Method and we each had three of our paintings included. It was so exciting to see our art go out into the world to help show the healing power of art.
You can just make out an image from the slideshow on the wall behind her. We are all so inspired by this amazing woman who has touched our lives so deeply. I started painting about two years ago and had no art background at all.
Art has really changed my life on so many levels. I miss my dining room because it has become my studio and is so full of my art supplies, canvases, paints, brushes, watercolor paper, and I have run out of room on my walls for my art so many are sitting on the floor stacked against each other. I need to get my art out into the world because I have a small house and it is full of women on canvas. My husband loves being surrounded with all the women though so that's really good news.
Anyway I am feeling so super charged and excited about the potential for this work, Color of Woman Method, to reach out to women and girls and allow them to discover the healing potential of creating art. My head is swimming with ideas and I'm trying to decide if I want to start teaching classes or if I want to create video online classes or just paint and write. It has been a bit overwhelming trying to learn all the technical aspects but I have learned a lot in the process. So I will keep you posted and in the process keep myself posted ... writing helps you find out what's going on with you in your life.
This is Sophie Rose and I just love her. So here's to healing the world with image and love.
So much more to come ... so much to share and play with.
