About Full Life Arts
Imagination is the deepest voice of the soul and can be heard clearly only through cultivation and careful attention. ~Pat B. Allen
Full Life Arts offers in-person art and craft experiences. Pre-recorded art workshops are in the works. And the enlargement of item types available in the shop is growing.
With a commitment to process and practice, Full Life Arts workshops provide a safe place for you to use the tools of arts and crafts to access the personally profound.
You will have a guide, not an instructor, as you engage with both ancient and more modern art forms.
Through one-to-one or group process, in-person or virtual, you will delight in experimenting with color, materials, and form to enter a creative flow which can be illuminating, restorative, and perhaps even transformative.
After the creative experience, you will have a uniquely sacred creation to call yours. You will also have the know-how to continue an art and spirit-filled practice on your own.
About Lynn
Art-maker. Facilitator. Tea lover.
Lynn has always been a Seeker, wanting to know more about herself, and about the world. She studied art history as an undergraduate and graduate, relishing the images and symbols which appear across cultures and through time. Library science seemed a practical way of working with culture, knowledge and wisdom and so she headed in that direction. Even as some things aligned outwardly, inwardly, she was still on a quest.
It was during a mandala workshop facilitated by artist, Heidi Darr Hope (http://www.darr-hope.com/) that she first experienced the connection between creativity and inner work. The mandala that she made that day is still one of her favorites.
She has now been making meaningful art for more than twenty years, going deeper into different modalities with more formal training. Though expressive arts don’t need to be done in a group, Lynn’s experience has been that an experienced guide and facilitator can create a safe container for people to explore art with curiosity, rather than with a goal of doing things right.
When she is not facilitating or creating in her studio, Lynn’s work is always intertwined with the edifying everyday of family life which includes her husband, Jim, two children (both now adults), and a big brown hound dog, Huck.
Lynn lives in Asheville, NC, energized by the rolling green and blue of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
