Nurture Your Creative Heart


It all begins with a whim.

My whim became a dream-come-true that transformed my art, my artistic practice, and my life ~ and yours can too. Embrace the Montain Dorothy Fagan

My story starts by embracing my mountain, you know that thing you can hardly speak about? Mine was an assault on my life that stopped me in my tracks. Frozen, I didn't even scream.

It all came out and transformed through my heART. And it taught me that creativie and healing processes are one and the same. It's my artistic mission to show you how I collaborate everyday with the creatrix!

The adventure begins with an artist residency in France.

Embrace the Mountain Dorothy Fagan

Join me and look over my shoulder, see what I painted. Learn how I transformed my muted gray palette into the vibrant life-giving chakra-aligned palette you see in my artwork today.

Now I have this wonderful book with her story and paintings together and I treasure it. Thank you for being such a shining light in this world. Every time I see one of your paintings, I feel joy."

    "Having come through trauma I drink in the tender paths walked, wisdoms shared and embracing colors Dorothy shares in this book. The loving wisdom from one who knows how deep the hurt goes and how it can be transformed into a part of the beautiful landscape of our lives is a gift to my heart. I have read it a couple times now in Kindle and it keeps embracing me in gentle unexpected ways. I am here to purchase a copy to hold now.
