There’s no doubt, uncertainty is activating. 

It’s my observation, our culture teaches us uncertainty is a wholly negative experience and to do our best to avoid it all costs through a variety of behaviors like: 

• isolating

• hiding in a crowd (following others without question)

• performing routines on autopilot 

Yet even though we do what we’re taught to get rid of uncertainty, it seems like the uncertainty dial is cranked all the way UP.  Uncertainty is dangerous, powerful stuff if left unchecked. 

What if there was a positive side to uncertainty?

What if uncertainty is natural human state of being?

What if we weren’t supposed to experience uncertainty alone?

What if there were positive experiences to be had with uncertainty? 

What if we consciously chose to engage uncertainty? 

Hi. I’m Amy. 

Much like my art, I am in process. I am an artist- not in the sense of doing (although I am quite prolific) but rather in being. Try as I might’ve to see things through a more linear, logical lens- it turns out that’s not my best look. 

Thank goodness!

I’ve discovered AMY = ARTIST

This part of the equation has been solved. (It was trickier than it had to be.)

I see things a little bit differently. I prefer to bring the things I experience and don’t understand to be processed though the wisest, most generative practice I know: art making. It never lets me down. I take my artist way of being and seeing to everything I do. Currently I am studying art therapy and counseling at Albertus Magnus College, instructing collage and watercolor at Quinnipiac University, working as a professional artist/ co-running a community art studio, parenting my teenage daughter, listening to the planets and stars and taking the best care of myself ever. 

I am glad your here and thank you for reading me.

I’d like to invite YOU to my studio @CreateSpaceNHV to consciously disrupt some of our patterning that we’ve ever-so-cleverly put in place to defend against the dreaded and inevitable uncertainties of life. 

Sounds kinda heavy…but what I really mean is:

Let’s practice hanging out and taking in the joy of the unexpected through art making. (art makes everything better)
