My creative Self

As a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), I have always relied, escaped, to creativity as a coping skill. I write poems to process difficult emotions. I draw and sketch landscapes of places where my mind goes for peace. I have decided to return to college to pursue a degree (hopefully!) in Studio Arts (think drawing and design). Initially I decided to return to school, to take art classes, as a stress relief from my career. While I love to gobble up degrees (actually they are all a ton of work), this one will be special. I am learning to offer a safe and loving place for my Inner Child Artist. My inner critic has been at the helm long enough! I am currently reading "The Artist's Way" as well. It's time for my artist and creative self to come out of the shadows and express freely.
