March 9th
Juliet Moran and I kicked off a workshop that was based on stirring people's

Creative Juices

and 
Opening their eyes...

"The future belongs to a very different kind of person with a very different kind of mind...creators and empathizers, pattern recognizers and meaning makers." Daniel Pink

We are pulling together encounters that inspire people to harvest new ideas.



I think we have the makings of something innovative and very exciting...

Here are some photos from our first Creative Juices encounter.
After the group spent the morning mixing their own juice concoction we move into stimulating our imaginations. We then dove into a simple and fun hands on project that everyone could finish and take home.

Everyone loved creating these small acrylic and collage faces on
a 5 x 5 black wood block




The group did similar art combining painting and collage

Between me and Juliet we have over 25 years of experience in global product marketing and global art marketing, as well as fine art creation. We have extensive knowledge and the ability to teach over 20 different art mediums and techniques. The best part is, we both have access to a large cadre of creative companies, artists and designers in the Northwest and world wide.

busy painting her version of a "whacked out" cat.


Still life I set up for the "Juice Bar"


We will be setting up workshops, encounters and retreats for business professional and companies that need to stay on the
creative cutting edge.
We plan on specializing in "hands on" creation and artistic exercises that are geared for renewing artistic minds and for introducing art tools to more analytical minds.

Know any engineers that need this?

I'll keep you posted on our next adventure.
If anyone has any great ideas for exercises that really get the
"Creative Juices"
flowing then ......pass it on!

Margie's Funky Smile is a large 36 x36 acrylic

I did several years ago. I had a blast painting it and I have
wanted to go back and try a few more "funky faces"
but I can't seem to settle on a style I love!

I need your help deciding which direction I should
go with my art......?

I love the romance and classicism of this painting
I was thinking of the great American painter, Frank Benson
when I completed this acrylic....................what do you think of
this style?????
