Instrospectism - What is this all about????

My sister, Poet, Lisa Frazeur, and myself, Artist, Sher Fick, are thrilled to announce our joint venture:  the idea behind CREATIVE INTROPECTISM began around the time I was working on a retrospective exhibition at a mental facility (and, yes, that is the RIGHT place for me)!  During selections of the work and my approach for the Art Talk (view here), we worked closely together.

We worked through many of our own childhood and early adult issues through the use of creative  expressions in art and poetry, also short fiction and theatre.  It became clear to us at the exhibition that people were interested in our processes and, who knows why, what we had to say on the matter.  They then became really excited when we talked about a future BLOG in which we would offer monthly prompts/challenges and the 'group' could not only follow along, but work side-by-side with us, and we would all share and support each other from the alpha to the omega.

It is NOT our intention to 'teach' or to 'treat/therapy' - we simple believe in the power of creative introspection and want to help provide a forum and sanctuary for others to join us in the process.

We will have guest 'prompters' and special  'speakers' from time-to-time.  No rules (except we require kindness and empathy) and you can come and go as you please.
