Terry Monell by Cynthia Sansone and Gail Frailin

"I have never considered myself a creative person.  Strategic, yes. Intelligent, yes.  But creative?  No way.  So I knew Terry's class was going to be a stretch.  I also felt nervous about joining a class with real artists.  Through Terry’s gentle guidance, expectations for producing something "good" were eliminated up front.  We created without conscious intent, using drawing and collage -- and then examined what emerged.  It was fun; surprising, an insightful.  I plan to make this practice a part of my life; for me, it opened doors to my psyche and allowed me to tap into my creative flow."
