(Feeling) Dynamic

2019 has been an exciting year, one filled with change and personal growth and adventures, so it seems fitting my final piece for the year is (Feeling) Dynamic.

To feel dynamic means to feel highly energized, productive, influential, and powerful. It means you put yourself out there to play big, using your charisma to motivate and inspire others. Let’s make 2020 a dynamic year!

How dynamic are you?

Constructive criticism and comments are always welcome. Please share your thoughts!

Next up: I will continue to work on my Feelings series into 2020. There are so many feelings to be created out of fiber!

Side note: I fulfilled my goal of six textured fiber paintings for the year. Yay me!

Info about my Feelings series: I interpret my random abstract doodles as emotions. The guiding point is the outer boundary of the doodle. The boundary evokes the feeling. From there, I contemplate how to bring that particular feeling alive in fiber.

My art and my work go hand in hand. I’m a Leadership Development Trainer & Coach, helping stressed out, frantic, frazzled professionals and the companies who employ them learn how to slow down and speak up, acquiring the skills to lead instead of follow, so everyone can feel like they’ve got their shit together. I lead them from crisis mode to working in harmony so they can become the leaders they know it’s possible to be. If you’re interested in leadership development training and coaching, please join me over at Harmony Coaching.

The majority of my work is for sale. Please visit my Gallery for available work.

(Feeling) Perplexed

Full reveal of my 5th piece for the year! (Feeling) Perplexed is complete.

When we feel perplexed, it can feel like the world is a puzzle, one where we’re presented with questions and moral quandaries that promote reflection. Sometimes, like a Zen koan, we may never truly find the answer we seek to end our perplexion, yet we continue to move forward.

What has left you feeling perplexed lately?

Next up: Work continues on my Feelings series. I am currently working on my last piece for the year, back in the positive feeling spectrum.

My art and my work go hand in hand. I’m a Performance Mindset Coach, helping stressed out, frantic, frazzled professionals slow down and reconnect to their intuition so they can get their shit together. I’ve walked the road my clients are on. My method to slow down was through development of a creative practice, which helped me regain my voice and led me to want to serve others in the same way. If you’re interested in developing (or expanding on) a creative practice as a means to reconnect to your intuition, lose your stress, and improve your professional performance, please join me over at Harmony Coaching.

(Feeling) Hopeful

Hope is a valuable commodity, in my opinion. Without it, we often can’t or don’t make our dreams come true.

Action is necessary; dreams don’t come true through hope alone. However, without hope, we are much more likely to give up when the work is hard.

How do you keep hope alive when you’re working towards your vision?

Next up: Work continues on my Feelings series. As I do, I’ll create my next textured fiber painting based on one of the painful feelings.

(Feeling) Crushed

Feeling crushed. We’ve all felt this.

That deep sense of disappointment.

The death or suppression of a dream.

Despair for a perceived loss of success, love, happiness.

That sinking feeling when we’re blinded to our own potential.

When someone stomps on our heart space, we feel crushed.

When was the last time you felt crushed? What happened?

(Feeling) Passionate

Passion! A vibrant feeling that often overwhelms and carries us away.

Passion is work in flow. It’s heart and soul in flow.

Passion isn’t contained or neat or tidy or reserved. It’s explosions of color and light and joy.

In this piece, the color wraps around itself and leaps for freedom.

Where does passion appear in your life?

Next up: Shifting from Passion to a more subdued feeling, one that evokes an emotion from the other side of the spectrum. Stay tuned for my next textured fiber painting.
