I am the author of The Artist Within, A Guide to Becoming Creatively Fit and am thrilled to have found your site via amazon.com. I am so grateful that you have enjoyed my book so far. I started writing it 10 years ago, 3 years after I opened my first art center, The Creative Fitness Center. I had absolutely no formal training when I opened that art center and have had quite a journey--a journey that has been fueled by creative energy. Art has been put on a pedestal and kept out of reach of the everyday, non-artsy types. As a result we are missing out on internal/personal power that is accessed by creative activity. This power can be used in business just as in personal life. This book is the "one thing I know for sure" for a decade now. My art and info. re. my corporate creativity workshops/retreats are on my site. www.creativelyfit.com Thank you, Dawn for your contribution! Creatively yours, Whitney Hi, Dawn!

Kaye and Violet - I didn't think I'd get into it like I did. Some of the sections (like the one that explained what it meant if I doodled a circle, a spiral, a triangle, etc.) were a bit "out there" for me, but overall the exercises were fun, and I think there's a lot to be said for creative play at any age. Shana - There's a session that starts in January, but I know that will be too iffy (when it's dark so early this time of year I become a real homebody)... I'm looking at "Pottery on the Wheel" beginning in March. J. Kaye and Violet – I didn’t think I’d get into it like I did.
