This is visual poetry.

Imagine taking your emotion and turning it into sacred visual treasures.

Creating time capsules of your life’s journey.

 
 

This is about creative expression, exploration of emotions and what’s happening in your life that you would like to study closer inside an artistic practice.

I don’t know if any of this will sound familiar to you… but I have a feeling that on some level you will relate:

At a very young age I felt awkward, alone, anxious and I was extremely uncomfortable in my own skin.

There was abuse at home and rejection from the classmates at school. I was considered the joke everywhere I went. Laughed at. Put down. I felt like an empty shell of a nothing.

At 13 years old I turned away from myself and coped with the pain, anxiety, depression, discomfort with drugs and alcohol.

By 16 had a raging meth addiction.

I got sober when I was 18 years old and didn’t know how to handle life on life’s terms. And the discomfort I felt inside was alive and well.

I decided to go to art school because I didn’t know what else to do with myself.

I learned about conceptual photography and it was LIFE CHANGING.

I started taking self portraits to try to speak visually about things I didn’t feel comfortable saying out loud.

And with this practice I found my voice.

And I found my way back to myself.

Self portraiture became my medicine.

I’ve been a practicing artist for the past 25+ years alongside my 33 years of sobriety.

This is a tool that I want to share with you because it so deeply changed my own life.

Right now I’m offering this self paced course for just $33.00 to celebrate 33 years of recovery.

I hope this gives you a doorway into a life long practice of self discovery and creative self expression.

( all you need is your phone as your camera and a willingness to try something new )

THIS COURSE IS NORMALLY $250.00 AND IS NOW $33.00 FOR A LIMITED TIME.
