"Do you remember the joy of painting as a child? The first time you picked up the brush and luscious colors flowed across the paper?
You can experience that excitement of discovery again at The Center for Creative Exploration. You will be guided in your journey by intuitive painting guide Claudia, whose incredibly perceptive guidance has made it possible for me to re-experience the delight I felt with my first brushstrokes.
This approach is process rather than product oriented. You are guided not to copy, but to draw upon the deepest recesses of your mind, emotions and experience to create something brand new. We start by painting for ourselves, not for some imagined audience. Our painting process is not decorative and sometimes not beautiful in the conventional sense but is an expression of our inner self. As I began painting here, my daily life experience took on more color and hue and I began to feel more deeply. Though painting, with Claudia's facilitation, insight has blossomed.
I hope you will give it a try. Creativity makes the world a happier place." - Shari G.
