The Energy of Drawing
"Feeling overwhelmed by the hustle of the season? Discover the meditative power of drawing. Slow down, calm your mind, and reconnect with the present moment through simple, peaceful creativity. Learn how to overcome distractions and embrace stillness in your drawing practice, even during the busiest times of the year."

Drawing & Mindfulness
This weekend, I led a drawing meditation workshop at Dharmata Sangha of Austin, using classical line drawing to cultivate mindfulness. Through art, participants learned to quiet the mind and enhance their meditation practice. Over my 20 years as an artist, I’ve found that drawing helps calm the "loud mind syndrome," fostering presence and creativity. These workshops aren’t about creating art but about experiencing the peace of being fully engaged in the process. The true benefit is the mindfulness achieved through the act of drawing.
