I’ve had a varied career as a performing artist, an arts educator, arts administrator, and now as a writer and audio fiction producer. I’ve also worked as a freelancer for a Visual Merchandising Company and as an Administrator for a CO-OP Art Gallery. Over the past 20 years, I’ve followed my instinct to work as a creative. At this point in my life, I see that creativity is a natural part of our human existence. But I wasn’t always so confident in being creative. In fact, for many years, I hid my creative abilities because I wanted to fit in, saw spending time exploring creativity as frivolous, and was frankly afraid of what others would think if I declared myself “creative.” That all changed once I discovered several books and people who not only helped redefine what being a creative was but offered proven techniques to unleash the inner creative that was ready to come out and play. We all have the ability to create!
