YOU ARE A NATURAL CREATIVE.
So, What is PAINT MEDICINE?
What Intuitive Painting Is NOT:
A way to make better paintings
Painting only what makes you feel good
Only making meaningful or channeled art
Always abstract and ethereal
Technique- based in any way
Teaching you how to be creative
What Intuitive Painting IS:
A way to connect to your higher self
A mindfulness practice that produces deep, internal shifts
A practice where you bring your WHOLE self, however you are
Trusting your brush and letting it take you ANYWHERE.
Radical self-acceptance
Truly being alive in the face of the unknown
It’s a Practice, not a Product
This practice is actually quite spiritual by nature. Opening to your truest, most innate creative self and allowing that self to take make decisions is not a usual thing- it’s stuff of the divine. With any practice, the more do it, and the more you TRUST THE PROCESS the more it will give back to you. This is a practice where your relationship to your personal intuition will alter in the best possible ways. And you can start to listen without fear and judgement. When we choose to listen to our highest self, we choose the life we were meant to live. We choose ourselves- and we come HOME.
Being fully present in the moment isn’t always easy. All kinds of things can come up. These “things” are all forms of resistance that pull us away from expressing our real-time, moment by moment creative impulses. And this is where the facilitator steps in. My job is to check in with you, see where you are, help you process the whole experience (however it shows up) and guide you back into painting.
An Invitation to be FULLY Self-EXPRESSED
Warning. This practice is not for those who are afraid to FEEL their FEELINGS.
You’ve heard the expression, “you’ve got to feel it to heal it”? Well, this is the place to feel. And express it- with PAINT! Bonus!
You will go deep. You will go shallow. You will go wavy, rocky, tsunami-y, calm, serene, and all the places in-between. This practice is a concentrated place to be fully yourself and go there, wherever that is.
When we fully surrender to the flow, we are “in it” and the intuitive, higher self is free to show herself. There is no planning, scheming or dreaming. Telling your inner critic to F off is the name of the game. And when the critic gets quiet, the whole universe can open. And It is SO BIG, SO EXPANSIVE, SO WAITING FOR YOU TO COME PLAY.

YOUR FACILITATOR:
Hello, I’m Paula! I'm an artist and teacher with a passion for freeing your inner artist!
I’m a certified Master Expressive Arts Facilitator where I work with lovely humans willing to immerse themselves into the wild and wonderful world of this practice.
I’m also an artist with a BSEd. from The University of Georgia and an MFA from Columbia College Chicago. Galleries that represent my work are in NY, Boston, Sarasota and Marietta.
Formally, I taught art in schools and colleges for 15+ years and now through my own studio and online.
When I’m not creating art, I'm playing with my family of 2 young boys, 2 young adult stepsons, one husband, one dog, one cat, (and no reptiles-yet! ) having adventures in the Atlanta area and surrounds.
Let's start CREATING!
