Self-Discovery Through Art as the Path to Empowerment.

Interview with Meryl Ann Butler, OpedNews Managing Editor and artist.

I "met" Meryl Ann Butler online in one of my VAWAA art webinars during the Covid pandemic. We discovered we both had a passion for how artistic expression can lead to joy-filled wellbeing and that it is a wonderful route to self-discovery.

In the interview Meryl Ann asks me about my book "From Art to Empowerment: How Women Can Develop Artistic Voice" and I explain what "artistic voice" is, and how I define "empowerment". I also explain why I wrote the book for women! I share pictures of my work as an art-educator and coach of adult women and give information about my workshops, online and in-person art coaching, and about where you can buy my prints.

If you like to focus on self-discovery through the arts, you might want to check out our in person upcoming workshop where Clarissa Shanahan and I will teach you how the symbolism and metaphorical richness of Tarot and Astrology can give your artistic work unphathomable depth, and guide you to discover unknown corners of your soul.

I can also create a one-on-one program for you to guide you online on the path of artistic expression, and the discovery of your artistic voice. Please get in touch if you are interested!
