Hi Darlahood,I would love to be able to get my hands on the two articles. I have
in my own subversive way integrated and infused art into every job I
have had. If they hire me as a therapist, next thing you know they
have an expressive arts therapist up in there....me. I am glad that
colleges and universities today are breaching the subject of how to
live and influence the world as an artist. When I studied, the focus
was primarily your individual creations and how to get a job and make
a living. Fortunately I am at the stage of my life now that the job
stuff has taken care of itself and is not a worry. And the act of
creating has taken on a much deeper meaning and purpose. Your
message has started me to think of the possibilities that would
present themselves if I just set myself up in a space with my sketch
pad, portable easel and paints...but also have my henna. This does
not take an event or permit or permission of any sort. There is
indeed something about the act of just being there doing what you do
as you create that creates the creative environment that others are
drawn to. I will play with this a little more. Thanks.
Maureen
