Using simple methods and yogic theory, this unique guide focuses on the art of drawing as a way to unblock creativity and create artistic confidence. Both practicing and beginning artists will learn to develop drawing skills, overcome creative blocks, and enter the meditative state in order to find creative connections and confidence. Featuring full-color examples from professional artists, three different drawing methods, and exercises tested and developed in the author's own drawing class, this is an invaluable tool for artists, writers, musicians, and all who wish to access their creative strengths and live inspired, authentic lives.
Hi and thanks for visiting! I've been an artist for over 30 years and I believe we're all creative at heart. I've made short animated films for CBC-Sesame Street, Nickelodeon TV and various nonprofit organizations in Boston. My illustrations have appeared in The Boston Globe, The Baltimore Sun, The New York Times, The Huffington Post, Time Magazine and many other publications. I've also done illustrations for children's educational books. In other words, I've been in the trenches for a while and I want to share some of what I've learned about creativity.
I wrote THE CONFIDENT CREATIVE / How to Free the Hand and Mind to nurture the artist in everyone. I hope you'll find lots of inspiration in the book for releasing creative blocks through the simple practice of drawing. And if you want to draw, there's plenty of exercises to get you going and to help you explore drawing in creative ways. Whether you're an artist, writer, musician, gardener, cook or bottle washer-- drawing can bring you into the creative flow.
