A Note From Christina

Wow, its September … can you believe it! The final cruise ships to Alaska are making their way past my deck and we got our first showers after a glorious summer of sunshine. Change is in the air!

I must admit, I do love fall shopping … cause fall clothes are what we wear here in Victoria B.C. the most (thankfully our winters are generally mild).

Despite the weather I’m continuing to golf … my new pastime to add balance to my life. And, painting continues to flow out of me too … I am SO ENJOYING this new medium of personal expression!

The theme continues to be little swirly, spirit people (hybrids of my graphic recording doodles done over the years in my graphic facilitation work). My guess is the subject matter is also highly influenced by my adoration of the Abraham-Hicks and Ask Theo teachings too. Sometimes I think they or similar energy is flowing through me … I’m as surprised as anybody about what shows up given the spontaneity of how the paintings come out.

Given its officially fall, and my autumn Fundamentals of Interactive-Graphics courses are right around the corner (early birds end on September 10th so register now!) … I’ve decided to write this issue’s article on the four main ways of working visually with groups and individuals (giving you lots of visual examples to stir your creative juices and marker hands!).
