In 2025, I embarked on Julia Cameron’s “The Artist’s Way: A Spiritual Path Toward Higher Creativity”. The curriculum provides a 12-week course, including a theme of recovery for your inner creative through journal prompts, Morning Pages and Artist Dates. I created a painting exploring the theme of each week.
