I am a visual artist and writer. In addition to my own arts practice, I support others (through individual and small group consulting) in discovering and trusting their own creative process, and in developing a body of work. In my writing, I explore topics related to the creative process in art. I have a solid background and long interest in Jungian psychology and the power of image-making, including an M.A. that focused on the latter. I am joining Depth Psychology Alliance to potentially meet like-minded others and to share and promote my work.
Do you belong to any other online Psychology-related communities or orgs? If so, which?

My blog, The Threshold View:
https://thresholdview.wordpress.com
About the Blog: The Threshold View looks at all manner of things relating to poetry, art, and life in the arts. A threshold is a doorway, a place of betweenness. The threshold view is the perspective that looks in more than one direction at the same time, often inwardly to the self and outwardly to the world. It is a paradoxical location; on the threshold we are neither here nor there, yet we are in the exact spot that connects one thing with another.
A threshold is also the point at which things previously unknown to us can become noticeable and noticed: the threshold of our awareness.
Sometimes, through loss, illness, or other major transitions, life thrusts us into the liminal place that is the threshold. And sometimes we choose the threshold life; it is a necessary life for the artist and for anyone seeking a life of meaning. A large part of our work as artists, writers, or engaged human beings is to invent for ourselves how to live on, or from, the threshold.
Sometimes the content here is general to the arts, sometimes geared specifically to either art-making or writing. The ideas, though, are rarely limited to one discipline and can be applied to both.
