Blog: The Queen of Creativity
What are you creating in the world?
I am always creating something as those who read my blog can tell you. Right now though I am embarking on a really big creative project and it is one I am really excited about. I am writing a book on creativity with the focus on mixed media art. It will be part my journey, part encouragement for other artists and part art projects to go with what I am discussing. There are so many artists out there who let fear get in the way of truly exploring their creativity. I hope to show how I conquered this and moved forward. I am so excited to connect with other artists and to offer my insights and wisdom learned along the way. Plus designing wonderful projects to go with the ideas will be a creative plus for me.
How has working with Jamie helped?
When I started working with Jamie I felt I was blocked in my writing and that I was not focused. I thought that I had too many different creative outlets. Through coaching with her I discovered that I do have a focus and was able to discover the project to work on that would make my heart sing. It has been a wonderful experience. I feel more on purpose, more alive and excited. This new focus led to a new blog and persona. I am now putting myself out there more. Telling the world this is who I am. It’s been fantastic.
What have I learned about myself?
I was excited to learn that I do have a process when I am working creatively. I really thought I did things haphazardly but was surprised to learn that I am quite methodical in my approach. It has been easy to see my process when I weave something, I pick out a project like a scarf, choose the yarn and the weave structure, wind the warp ,thread the loom and then weave the piece. It wasn’t so clear that I was doing similar things with writing and making mixed media art. Having a process for those things seem to legitimize them for me.
What would you like to celebrate?
I want to celebrate everything, all the wonderful new things that are happening for me. Actually I think the new blog and the persona I have taken on in becoming the Queen of Creativity is a celebration in itself. I think in addition I would like to celebrate the birthing of this new book. Perhaps I should celebrate when I write the first words or when each chapter is complete. I don’t think I want to wait till it is finished to celebrate I think the celebration should be ongoing.

Thanks, Jamie for sharing what you’re doing and featuring someone actively building on your coaching. What an inspiration!
LOVE Kate’s last line – ‘…I think the celebration should be ongoing.’ !
Best wishes, Kate, on your book. Seems everyone in blogland is addressing fear these days – just blogged about it myself (http://sheila-lakesidelookingglass.blogspot.com/2009/07/on-flip-side.html) so you’re apparrently on target with a tool to get passed it.
Hey Ladies! How exciting to see Kate and Jamie together. Kate, how cool that you are writing a book, and I love the crown and the title.
Yay Kate! Awesome interview!
