Art for the Wildlife of the Gulf Oil Spill

"I am deeply concerned for the wildlife that is currently, and who will be in the future ,effected by the Gulf Oil

Spill. In my effort to do something to try and help, I have created Animal Totem Stones of some of the partiuclar animals that may suffer from this spill. Proceeds from the sale of these totem stones will be sent to the National Wildlife Federation to assist in their efforts.As individuals our efforts may seem small, but when we join together we can make great strides."

John's Flute Music Endeavours

If you haven't come out to hear John perform recently, you might not be aware that he is in a new band called Windscape 3.

 Windscape 3 offers an eclectic, jazzy, folk and world beat blend of original music and songs. With tribal jazz pieces in an acoustical setting they use modern and ancient world instruments to create that "feel good" ambience in most every setting.

They will be having a CD release in June 2010.

Touch Drawing Workshop ~ Drawing Out the Soul

On June 5th, I  will be facilitating a Touch Drawing workshop, one of the most beautiful and expressive art techniques I have found. Touch Drawing has endless applications as a tool for therapy, creativity, and spiritual awareness. Many use this inspiring technique in art workshops, spiritual enhancement workshops , or in environments such as hospice, domestic violence support , cancer patient support and other similar areas in need of emotional and spiritual expression.


Jeanne's Sessions are guided by music and voice, creating a relaxing yet inspiring space for realizing your creative potential. This is an excellent method to use especially for writers and artists who may feel blockages, creating a new outlet.

No artistic experience is required. This is a creative expressive art form that can be used for virtually any age, and for people with no art experience to the most advanced artist.

Only 10 spaces available

You can read more about Touch Drawing and register for the workshop at our website ~

"Art for Healing ~ A Look at Hope for our Lifetime"

On May 7th, Jeanne will begin showing her new series of paintings named
"Art for Healing ~ A Look at Hope for our Lifetime".
Faced with her own health challenges since the age of four ,which are becoming more pronounced at an older age, she finds herself a "statistic" in the current healthcare challenges in our country. During this process, she has found she needs to draw upon her own inner strength and spirituality for a state of "soulful" well-being.
The paintings began when she found the need to surround herself with the vibrancy of inspiring images and colorwork that were dear to her own heart.

Jeanne will officially be showing the series during the First Friday in Ashland event on May 7th at the Mystic Trading Company. Between now and that time, I invite lovers of art and those that support healing the complete being, to enter into a contest.
Send me a submission, of 200 words of less, about yourself or someone dear to you that is facing a health challenge and how you support and inspire them through the process. The winner of the contest will receive a smaller version of one of the paintings in the series.
You can enter your submission in a comment to this post here on my blog OR become a fan of Conscious Art Studios on Facebook and respond to the thread there.
