wife and a mother and newly retired after being an art educator for
over twenty- ve years. Corrine is also a cancer survivor who used her
creativity for support throughout this challenging experience as well
as to "have a little fun" on the journey.
"I've had an opportunity to go beyond simply learning skills and
techniques. I have been able to explore and experience the healing power of being
involved in this creative adventure. Life is a process... often a process with many
surprises. I've learned that exploring my creative interests has made my life more
meaningful and even healthier. It has also helped give me insight into who it is that
God created me to be on this amazing journey."
In the process of creating one of her many journals, Corrine added her handprint to
each journal page. She squeezed ample amounts of acrylic paint onto a large paper
plate, choosing colors that seemed appropriate to that day's entry... some days called
for bright, cheery colors while other days were dark and moody. Occasionally, there
was even a need for a touch of glittery gold paint! Corrine wiggled her open palm
around in the wet paint, mixing the colors and then stamped a full handprint on the
page, nally writing around the handprint. Somehow, becoming physically involved
with the paint was almost as therapeutic as the actual writing. "Feeling the thick paint
on my hand seemed to relieve the stress of the moment and sometimes added to the
playfulness of the process," Corrine described."visualizza meno
