The constant search for harmony with your inner world.

The creative process asks that we turn inward for answers. It is a search for that which resonates profoundly with you, that feeds you. From that connection, you find your special insight, your unique creative contribution.

The process is one of constantly searching for harmony with your inner world, with the voice inside that asks softly for an opportunity to speak.

Creativity as a Way of Life: Journal Meditations of a Working Artist

If you are not subscribed to either or both Heron Dance Art Studio Substacks, you can do that here:

  • Creativity as a Way of Life: The use of journaling as a tool in creative work; an exploration of the inner work underlying creative work.

  • A Pause for Beauty: a gratitude art journal celebrating the beauty and mystery of the natural world, and the gift of life.

    . . .

If you appreciate this work and can afford to support it, please do. October 1 it will become a paid Substack:

  • $5 a month

  • $50 a year

  • $150 Founding Membership includes both Substacks and two upcoming books:

  • Meditations on the Beauty and Mystery of Life, A Gratitude Journal

  • Using An Art Journal to Probe Deep.

    . . .

    The cost of subscribing to both of my Substacks,
    A Pause for Beauty and Creativity as a Way of Life
    is twice that indicated above.

You can make a one-time or recurring contribution here.
Any contributions received prior to October 1 will be credited against a subscription.

And thank you.
