Workshops- NO these are Playshops


Draw Out Greatness for Non-Artists


ARE YOU LIVING THE LIFE YOU WANT? If so, awesome! If not, listen up. Your imagination is waiting to assist you in becoming all that you can be. You already have within all you need to do, be or have all you desire. Don't believe me, try this for yourself.


Discover a new tool for living.

1. Find out what symbols (doodles) can help to empower you. Symbols can serve as metaphors for your greatness. These visuals can stir something deep inside that fuels your fire.

2 . When you say the words, "I can't" you stop the creative process from showing you options. If you are still reading this, you are the type of person who would gain from this. Learn ways to bypass the inner critic that keeps you from trying new things. There is much fear around creating art. I've learned to make it so simple that you won't have to draw anything realistic. You'll begin to realize happiness is a choice and not a condition based on outside circumstances.

3. Your imagination can give you the necessary clues to open up new doors of possibility for you. Learn how to tap into the inner knowing so you can do, be or have what you desire. You have no idea what possibilities will open up for you from this adventure.

4. See how even YOUR simple doodles contain hidden messages and clues about you. You can do this on your own using the Draw Out Greatness kit . Find a friend or two and book a creative night. This is way more fun. Or book me to come to your town. I require at least five participants and travel expenses.

Lecture , May 3rd at the Artery Gallery, Milford, PA


The Artery GAllery in Milford, PA is please to offer an additional treat for the closing Artist's Reception on May 3;


a preview of the locally offered free lecture by Linda Richichi, a noted pastelist, SUNY Orange art teacher, and Artery Alumni from 2002-2004.

Linda is an international award winning artist whose work is widely collected. Her pastel paintings are a successful blending of the academic principles of drawing and composition

with the emotive strength of expressionism, and frequently surprise with bursts of brilliant color.


Linda now brings that experience and talent to her free lecture series “Draw Out Greatness”, a technique for artists and nonartists to gain valuable insights and clarity simply from their doodles.

Linda's new mixed media collages, on display at the gallery, reflect these powerful life lessons. Linda will be at the gallery from 1-1:45 demonstrating elements of her lecture “Draw Out Greatness”. The public is welcome to this free event, and encouraged to join us for some light refreshments immediately after. For more information, visit www.DrawOutGreatness.com .


The Artery is located in the historic Forest Hall at the corner of Broadand Harford Streets in Milford, PA. Regular gallery hours are Thursday –Sunday, 11am - 6 pm & Monday 11-3 pm. For more information call 570 409-1234 or visit us at www.arteryonline.com



While at the gallery I met another artist who was very interested in what this is all about. He is using art to move past pain. These exercises are powerful. I'll be writing about the work of this remarkable man shortly! (06/27/09)
