Nancy Canyon

My objective as an artist is to explore my inner and outer worlds through writing and art, and to work with others, helping them explore their creative worlds too. What we discover together will deepen our creativity and our connection to each other.

Creating is a way to free the authentic self, to learn about the inner and outer worlds, and to grow and change. I encourage everyone to take a non-judgmental stance toward the creative process, thus allowing creativity to deepen.
