Profile

What's Your Favourite Way To Create?
I love to draw, collage and paint intuitively/spontaneously. I also am a keeper of journals of every kind, writing, dreams, poetry, collage, inspiration, drawing and watercolor
Favourite Artists (in ANY creative medium)
I love artists on the intuitive path...Painter Michele Cassou, Dancer Gabrielle Roth, Collage Artist, Seena B. Frost
Greatest Creative Moment You've Had?
After my daughter was born, my body started to speak to me. I began to go down to my studio at night and paint and draw spontaneously. My paintings would speak to me without words. Sometimes I would paint all night. I was a gallery artist at the time and it felt so good to just express myself without having to think of an end product. It was at that point that art became transformational for me.
What's Your Biggest Creative Dream?
To write a book about my creative process and have it published.

I keep a daily journal that I write in as much or as little as I feel like. I also write a gratitude journal at bedtime working through my day writing what I am grateful for. I also write about any problems i am having and clear my mind ready to sleep.
Your collage journal sounds interesting. What do you do in it? Do you do large collages and writing or just collage?
lots of love from susan in australia

Hi Shelley! Oh how I wish I was a productive painter like Michelle Cassou! But I am glad that you enjoy the ones posted. I want to start again, but it is scary to start after not painting like that in awhile...
Technique just comes intuitively. It is so freeing not to have to worry about, composition, color choices, subject, proportions,perspective...I love not having to make decisions in the paintings, and not planning anything, but to just paint through them...I get a lot of mud paintings also, but as Cassou and a member reminded me recently, the mud periods are temporary and are sort of like a clearing out, or cleansing process needed to evolve.
It is cool to go back and look at them! There are some x-rated paintings that still shock me! The finished product is always a surprise! Is it that way for you also?
Have you posted any of your intuitive painting on CCS yet?
I will have to do some perusing... You already know that I think your collages are awesome!!!
What is your preferred medium? Collage or painting?

Great to see all your wonderful collages. I also keep lots of journals. What ones do you keep? Do you write everyday like I do?

Hi Shelley, How fortunate for you to have a job where you get to spend your lunch time making fabulous collages!

Yes Michelle Cassou books have been my painting bibles over the past ten years.

With out reading those books these paintings might never have been created:

It would really be pleasure to see your intuitive paintings also! Will you be posting them at CCS?

From what I read in your blog, you are also one of those multi-talented artists that always inspires!
I have a huge history with the Cassou process...I love her books, her artwork and her way of guiding painters to find their own authentic imagery! I am looking forward to seeing some of your paintings, Shelley!

Your collages are really wonderful to look at....I keep looking and lookiing! So much color, and mystery and pattern and texture!
Each collage is an awesome adventure, a curious dream, a love affair with image!

Thanks for stopping by to look Shelley! I am amazed with your collages- I have only done a few (I posted them in WWRWTW group, because they were soulcollage and inspired by the book- I don't think I added them to my album- I may have to do that one of these days :-)
