"If you fight the direction the universe is trying to send you, 

                    these changes will be much harder on you than if you go with the       

                                                                          natural flow."

 Welcome! My name is Lorraine Festa and welcome to the Artizen Studio, where a focus on the creative arts can be a powerful tool for enhancing your overall well-being as well as having a profound impact on your mental, emotional, and physical health. As I have learned personally, some of life's transitions can be challenging but with the right perspective, moments of change turn into opportunities for growth and personal expression.  For one thing, I believe strongly that the use of art in any form will promote self-discovery as well as personal growth.  

 Since my work, whether personal or professional was based partially on my intuition, I decided to adjust my prior work as a coach and combine creative methods with the intuitive process for the resolution of life transitions, creativity development, or maintaining one's wellness. I also adapted that focus to intuitive painting, where I  discovered a calm, pivotal channel for self-expression, and most important, self-insight. 

This "intuitive" process took me to the next level where my creativity could take the lead, instead of me attempting to control any creative process. My passion for this area of expressive arts also provided me with the resource to to push the boundaries of what is possible. As such, I want to continue to explore new materials and techniques reflecting aspects of emotional storytelling.  

I also discovered that it all comes down to one's brand and style and mine presents as an emotional expression through color and texture, while telling a story, whatever the medium. In other words, I feature emotional storytelling through intuitive art.

Ultimately, as an artist as well as a writer, I understand how any part of the creative process can unlock new insights and ignite personal transformation during life transitions. So, as I emphasis the use of painting and writing to heal, express, and claim my authentic self, while gaining a new perspective on life’s challenges and circumstances.
