I come from a cultural background where any expression of who I was used to be suppressed from an early age. I grew up thinking thatmy thoughts, what I love and my ideas didn’t matter. Art had to look a certain way and it was for the selected few. For me art was usually a picture painted by someone many years ago. I saw the Mona Lisa in Paris when and even this famous painting didn't do it for me. I was not interested in making anything like this.When I was 30 years old, I experienced burnout. To recover, I had to find out who I really was and separate that fromwho I thought I should be. I started a new journey. I became a life-coach, travelled the world and turned my life around. I ran workshops and supported people on their journey to authenticity.One day, when I was living in Hawaii, I met a greatart teacher. She gave me paints and said to me: paint what you love. No instructions, no teaching, she was just holding the space. So I did and I loved it. I was so joyful discovering this new feeling of excitement in me. That was the beginning.Today I am painting daily. I connect with what I love and I express it. I use different materials, I explore and play. There is a flow, fun and joy. And I always create something that's meaningful for me.I have discovered that this way of entering the world of art and creativity works for many other people and that'swhy I offer my workshops. You can come and have fun, relax and enjoy. But maybe you come and discover this joy of creating something meaningful for you. You never know where this journey takes you. Are you ready?"Art is a very vulnerable and beautiful way of being in this world. It allows us to discover who we are and express it."Lucie
