We are ARTISTS



This was one of the first works by Sunflower Lily. I created this for the amazing spirited individuals from my Artists Way workshop. I wanted to give them something to remember the group but I also thought that I wanted to continue to keep us all connected. So I created the masterpiece pictured above . . . is masterpiece too much?? . . . Nah! I didn't think so either!! Each tile has a letter that spells out We are Artists. Because each person in that group IS AN ARTIST!! Each person(there was 12 of us which was very convenient or this may have been synchronicity at work) chose which piece of the artwork they wanted to keep. So essentially we are all part of a collective whole which is creativity itself! Each person now has a Sunflower Lily original.

I had such a great time painting it and an even better time showing it to the group. As I am sitting here writing this I can picture back to that Friday morning. The energy that was felt in that room gave me the chills it was so powerful. Some amazing things happened in that group and to the fabulous creatives that were a part of it. I will never forget those that I shared those 8 weeks with. There was so much warmth and growth and just amazing energy in that room coming from all those people. We were all meant to be in that group together. I look forward to the next time I see each and every one of them because I know our journey is not yet over! Continue searching! Continue Growing! Continue Creating!
