When I created DreamSpace Arts, I admit I was playing really small. I wanted it to grow up to be a gallery for my artwork someday (since I couldn't seem to get my art into any of the local places at the time). But something happened. While I was playing at being an artist, I was given a much bigger vision. Here's what I'm up for.....
Let me give you a little history, first, though.
I am familiar with several people who have lived in virtual silence for the last many years, squelched by others' ideas and criticisms; victims of domestic violence who have been beaten into submission, adults who have been raised with parental disapproval and worse, children who have been the subject of adult indiscretions. These people all have found their voices for the first time in an expression called art. Through art therapy, they've been able to work out the guilt and anger and fear.
I am not an art therapist, I do not have the credentials, but what I can provide is a medium for self-expression without judgment, without penalty that in itself is freeing and powerful.
My vision is for DreamSpace Arts to someday be a worldwide organization staffed with art instructors, healers, and others who are as dedicated to finding those lost voices as I am.
Anyone who would like to help is welcome to contact me. I know I will not be able to do this alone.
Dream On!
