Creative Courage

Creative Courage is based on the artist’s experience of starting to make art again after 10 years. In facing her creative blocks, she learned that feelings of safety, relaxation and playfulness help creativity come through. Creative Courage uses diffuse color, visual displays and an enclosed physical space to inspire these feelings in the viewer. The experience complements the artist’s upcoming book about this journey.
