The Artist Within...

The artist resides in all of us. Some people are school or mentor-trained...others self-taught....each to varying degrees of aptitude. There are also individuals with untapped creative talent embedded deep inside the circuitry of the brain waiting to be discovered.

The ability to create offers a means to handle the stresses of everyday life. Getting lost inside the process of creativity unleashes suppressed emotional energies and allows us to work through sub-conscious layers of hidden anger, fear, anxiety, frustration, confusion or guilt. Sometimes, there are past difficulties so traumatic that to purge these to the surface requires additional therapeutic remedies such as counseling to help the individual cope with releasing the negative angst of the past that is preventing him or her the ability to handle the present moment effectively.
