Creative Joy is a brand new concept!

It is about cultivating sustainable inner calm and joy.

Get stunning art - without trying to make art.

Imagine, you are "just" smudging paint onto a piece of copy paper with a plastic bag for a few minutes. 

There is no agenda of making a piece of art.
You are simply playing for the pure joy of it.

No matter how messy it looks, you can always find a beautiful detail in it.
Take a photo of it and have it printed into a stunning artwork.

The story behind Creative Joy's beautiful, fast ways to create sustainable joy while creating on paper.

Since you are here, you might relate to this:
during the last 8 years I faced a lot of challenges.
They included excruciating pain and intense panic attacks after unfavorable reactions to anesthesia.
The outer world going bonkers added fuel to the fire.

I was determined to find solutions that gave me a foundation of inner joy and calm that I could sustain even during pain and anxiety.

I researched a lot, took creative courses, observed the highs and lows of others in creative groups. What ultimately did it was experimenting with all kinds of ways of creating while being homebound.
I had just a little space to create on my desk or on my lap in my recliner.

I discovered - and rectified - two things:

By using the Golden Key and the SHORT and SIMPLE playful ways to create, I regained a base of sustainable inner peace and joy - even during challenging times.

Neither my clients nor I have seen anything like it in other courses.

"...this is therapy..."

"I was really sceptic.
I mean, doodling is child's play. Right?

But this is therapy! I feel so joyful after just 15 minutes.

I am going to do this with my mother."
Jamie, who described herself as a worn out caretaker of her 93 year old mother

I saw and keep seeing many other people struggling with challenges and feeling anxious, depressed, lonely and having low energy.    

I decided to put what I learnt and is working very well into this Creative Joy course. 

It's been tremendously gratifying that it has been working very well for other people, too. 

Difficulties, worries and having "to be adult" can leave crusts on your heart and soul.

The methods in Creative Joy are designed to let them disappear when you engage with the short ways of creating on a continuous basis.

You can then once again feel that childlike joy inside of you that makes everyday life brighter.

You'd love to create - BUT creating can

- make you feel tense?
- get you frustrated?
- make you feel like you are no good at it?

I know those too well! 
It happens to everyone!

But I discovered:

The "GOLDEN KEY" is in HOW you create.

Having that key makes a significant difference in the benefits you get from creating.
It can prevent you from getting frustrated and tense.

Instead, it allows you to create with sustainable joy.

With Creative Joy you can become an expert at maintaining sustainable inner calm and joy while using the Golden Key to create - and LIVE.

The Creative Joy course - in a nutshell.
(The full curriculum is at the bottom of the page.)

A brief look inside the Course

Simple Supplies

You most likely have all of these items.

The paints are available at most craft stores - and online.

They can be substituted with whatever paints you already have.

When you use less materials for multiple results, it stimulates the creative center of the brain - and boosts your confidence and joy.

You can easily put some supplies into a little pouch and create on the go.

Classic Black and White

Remember the doodling you did as a kid?

It is still one of the fastest ways to calm down and feel joyful.  Especially if you use the Golden Key from this Course.

I show you elegant and playful doodling, asemic calligraphy and more.

And how to turn it all into intriguing Zen style art that makes you proud.

You can do this ANYTIME and ANYWHERE.
Even with your kids and grandkids.

Uplifting Colors

A little fooling is a good thing sometimes.

You'll create art and collage fodder that looks like abstract painting. But it's done without a brush!

When you use materials and methods that are unusual, it can greatly expand your ability to come up with creative solutions for challenges in your daily life.

At the same time, it's also a super fun way to make practical things like greeting cards, journal covers, collages. You can have them printed onto pillow cases and more.

Sandy framed her very first doodle immediately.

Simple - all the way!

This totally boosts your confidence and makes you smile:
wear a shirt and drink out of a mug that are printed with detail photos of your joyfully smudged papers. 

No talent required!

No special space required.
You can even create sitting in your recliner with a piece of cardboard on your lap.

No fancy supplies.
Just (copy) paper, scissors, pen, Sharpie, 3-5 small craft store paints, a simple brush and a few things you usually throw in the trash:
bottle and jar caps, an old credit card or stiff lid from a food box.

Yes! It's THAT simple!

You can even do it with your kids and grandkids - or with your parents and friends.

"Seriously?!
I can smudge paint and switch into being calm and happy? " 

YES!
That's exactly what kids do!

It's about giving your brain the conditions and methods to relax, so you can access and expand your Natural Creative Joy that you were born with.

Absolutely no talent required.

I know! It sounds crazy good! 
And it really is!

In my world it's gotta be SIMPLE and JOYFUL!
That's why I have always come up with my own unconventional methods. 

They are playful, fun and faster than traditional ones.
And - YAY! - they really do give you instant gratifications.

Gorgeous art created in 5-10 minutes.
No paint brush and absolutely no talent required.

" I really enjoyed it!
Even doodles you do better!"

I’ve been doodling at night before bed and it is very relaxing … an added bonus - when I’m mindfully doodling, I’m NOT mindlessly eating junk food!

Do you think you are not creative?

That's a devastating myth!

We were all born creative!
Just watch kids play.

We'll bust that myth.

And you can create happily ever after.

Doesn't this look like multiple layers of paint were applied?
Surprise! It took less than two minutes!

Relax with shirts that you can have printed with your doodles and smudged designs that you create within minutes - like these.
It's utter pleasure!

Don't have time for creating?

Ohhh - "no time" has been one of my "favorite reasons" to say NO too many times to things that would BRING ME JOY.

"No time" - it sounds so logical!
Except - it doesn't hold up.

All I have to do is look at the time spent scrolling on social media.
And - BAM! That excuse is totally out.

Or: what about watching Netflix? Shows?
Sitting around lost worrying for hours at a time?

Can you relate?
And - what do you choose?

I invite you to choose CREATIVE JOY.
Join this beautiful journey into feeling calm and happy - regardless of inner or outer circumstances.

P.S.:  one of the coveted benefits of creating is, that you actually can get all other work done faster and more efficiently.
Which leaves you with more time to do the things you love.
Including Creating.

That's what my art teacher told me for 6 years.
You most likely have your own version of this in your life.

It might also have hampered your creativity for a while - like it did for me. So I became a teacher first.
I was teaching in public schools, community colleges and a prison.

But after 10 years my passion for artful expressions won. 
In 1987 I took the plunge - and have been a full time artist and art wear designer ever since.

I've created over 20.000 pieces that have been selling in high-end boutiques, galleries, shows and my own boutique.
Now I offer them online and at trunk shows.

From the very beginning I have always come up with my own playful unconventional methods. They are simple and fun.

My clients say they haven't had this much joy and happiness.
And that they haven't seen most of the methods anywhere else.

 It's my greatest joy to inspire and guide you to create in ways that light you up and boost your confidence.
I look forward to playing with you INSIDE of CREATIVE JOY!

Deep inner joy spreads like sunrays...

Deep inner joy is that delicious, nurturing feeling that spreads like sun rays from your heart and mind throughout the body.

It sparkles up your eyes and it makes you smile. You feel confident, content and happy from deep inside.

When you create like kids do - exploring without expectations - you open the space in your brain and heart where natural joy lives.
 
The more you create, the calmer and more joyful you become.

You can access that space faster with the help of the Golden Key.
You can then create "Joy-on-Demand" - often within just minutes.

"Even thinking about it makes me feel happy."

"Prior to this course, I was someone who didn't really draw.
But your doodling methods were a revelation.  
I CAN draw and it was fun!
 Even thinking about it makes me feel happy."
