So busy, so much to do and think about and learn. My life has changed so much in the last few weeks. I am in school now full time and working part time and trying to remember to get some sleep. I am learning so much about myself and other people and my art process and of course all the technical bits of psychology and creativity and art that I have been thinking about for
such a long time. It’s funny because I have always been interested in psychology and often thought about going down that path, for real, and pursuing a career as a psychotherapist. I guess the thought of 8 years of school always scared me, which is ironic, as I am now currently going on to year 10 of post secondary education (5 years at art college, 1 year at university, 2 years in computer graphics design training programs, 1 year of Arts & Cultural Management and now Art Therapy)! Anyway, I am thrilled to have taken the plunge into this new career which integrates so many parts of what I have already learned and continue to learn…all the pieces are coming together. As for my art process…I can tell you my comfort levels are being pushed daily as I am in a situation where i am forced to create almost daily, amongst others, using materials I do not normally use…and I can honestly say it’s beginning to open up my creative process. I have probably painted more in the last 2 weeks than I have in the last 3 months. Anyway, I just thought I would share this new path of discovery and I look forward to sharing whatever art evolves from this process…soon.
