IAM-U Thesis Project:  My goal was to dissolve my artistic block by freeing my creativity through HRM practices and charcoal drawings.

I decided to create 42 drawings in 6 weeks (one drawing a day). My routine was meditating with practices given by my teachers and mentor for an hour and then draw for only 30-40 minutes. Then I set the drawing aside and moved onto the next one before the inner critic could over analyze it. I accepted the drawing for what it was at that moment. With each drawing, I surrendered to the creative flow coming from my heart, breaking down all barriers and building up layers of emotional connection. 

In the end, my eyes were opened to two truths:

We are all creative beings.

I am an artist with a unique Voice  whether or not I can see with my physical eyes because I see with my heart
