Wild Creative Heart Guest: Jeniffer Hutchins

Today I have the exciting honor of introducing Jeniffer Hutchins of Joyful Arts Studio! A talented, gentle and happy soul, I met her in 21 Secrets where we are both teaching. She was kind enough to agree to an interview and answered a few questions I asked her, and she didn't just type them up, she answered then in her art journal and is sharing photos of her pages! She also is sharing some of her gorgeous paintings.

Be sure to stop by her website today, not only is yours truly being interviewed, but also she has a brand new design to show off which includes a free online community!

Mission Statement & Artist Bio:
I LOVE ART and I LOVE TEACHING. It is my goal to create art and art workshops that will spark creative fires within others. I see art as a tool for understanding ourselves and our connection with the Divine Spirit that lives in us all. I strive to teach others to trust themselves and to live more creative lives. This is my passion. It is an absolute JOY to share my passion with you!
I currently live in North Carolina with my husband, Dan, and our 3 year old son, Noah. While I enjoy creating with several art mediums, painting is my primary artistic outlet. Inspired by my varied environments and travels cross-country and abroad, I capture onto canvas the beauty I see in the world. My impressionistic works have been showcased in several galleries from the East to West coasts.

I graduated college with a degree in Art Education and even jumped through all the hoops necessary to obtain my teaching license in three states. (We moved a lot.) However, I found it more fun teaching art outside of the traditional school setting. In 2005 I found a new passion for the expressive arts, especially in the form of Visual Journals. I had discovered for myself the healing power of art. A new “healing” mission began and I started teaching adults to play like children. Through this powerful play I have witnessed dreams unfold, confidence build and lives change. I am currently offering expressive art workshops online, in person and through an upcoming weekend retreat.

I'd love for you to stop by my brand NEW website! There is even a community page where artists and creative dreamers can gather to play and share ideas. http://www.joyfulartsstudio.com/ Let's Play!
