ARTIST STATEMENT

Ann Leach

Life's ebb and flow show us contrast regularly. As we ride the waves we
remember life is not happening to us, it is happening for us and every problem

offers a gift in its hands.

A calming creative practice I discovered this term came when I discovered an old
online collage program and decided to explore its process as a wind-down

practice a couple of nights each week. My knowledge of color mixing and page
balancing actually increased as I explored shapes and placement on the virtual

page. Fun!

establishing a creative practice, and living a mindful life. As a volunteer at my
local arts center, we now offer CALM: Creative Arts for Living Mindfully to

members and the community during Wellness Wednesday and Soothing
Saturday programming.
