Expressive Art Exercises
Inspired by art therapy, creative visualization, psychology, and right-brain business planning:
I pick a challenge in the creator’s journey.
I workshop a solution using creative approaches.
I research and experiment with interdisciplinary creative modalities.
I apply it to my own projects.
I tweak until the exercise facilitates a desired solution in the most impactful, effective way.
Art Expressives help creators apply right-brain techniques to find clarity, inspiration, meaning, and solutions along the entrepreneurial journey.
Writing
I write about:
My creative process and building a creative business
Integrating AI into my workflow
Learnings from designing exercises and resources for creators
Insights from creative projects and experiments
My goals for artistic development and takeaways from what I’m learning
Work Ethos & Trajectory
I believe:
Art helps us articulate what words alone can’t express
Self-expression is important for self-actualization
Art-making doesn’t require artistic training
Focusing on the creative practice, not the result, yields richer fruit
Trajectory:
1) Create Consistently for Creators 2) Experiment and Build Valued Resources 3) Iterate & Repeat!
