Creative Bliss

About

 Katrina  is a visual artist living in Ohio with her two elementary aged children. There they foster a “free-range” work-play creative environment where the “Bliss Muse” rules.

Doodler since toddler, Katrina’s creative bliss has been an exciting and varied path of  study and professional involvments in painting, illustration, and design all her life.

She  serves as “Chief Creative Kat-alyst”  providing  entertaining, hands-on arts programming to children and adults with her traveling creativity lab, aMUSEing Art Studios, LLC.

Katrina’s work is derived of influences  from children, nature, the humanities, and Universalism.

This site is dedicated to Katrina’s fine art paintings.

 “Creativity is not taught. It is allowed, supported, valued, encouraged, recognized, and nourished. Presenting creativity as defined by topic, and “how to” dialogue, I believe, injures a person’s ability to connect naturally with their chosen means of expression.

To embrace creativity as a valuable asset, the structure could be providing space and provisions where exploration is celebrated. Creativity building time in a classroom, where music, movement, words with meaning, and visual art materials are incorporated into prompting and inviting experimentation builds an acceptance of original ways of approach and results. Fostoring individual creative thought, feeling and ability is accomplished through guiding, not teaching.

It starts with asking, not telling anyone what to do with something. Whether it is a 2 year old, or an 80 year old, defining how or what to do with something chosen as a tool for expression is to limit the natural creative instinct and inventiveness that everyone is born with. This is not to do away with art appreciation, or specific music study, or a type of art or dance that an individual aspires to master. This is about insuring more creative application and innovation across the board of life, by allowing first for individuals to naturally define a creative passion and process.”
