ARTELLAGRAM 7-9-2011:
"In the Studio"
An Interview with Caroline Douglas

(This interview is continued from the July 9, 2011 Artellagram)

Artella: How has your ARTbundance™ training affected your work and/or life?

Caroline: It has given me confidence around my abilities of speaking and coaching. The coaching practice sessions and speaking practices were so natural and fun! I loved  assisting people in finding their own answers and inspiration through creativity.

Artella: In your mind, how are creativity and spirituality related?

Caroline: I see them as totally related. I discover spirituality through creativity. When one is involved in creativity, there is just the present moment. I feel so lucky to be able to experience that place of no thinking and just be in appreciation of this moment.

Artella: How is prosperity related to creativity and spirituality?

Caroline: Prosperity is a state of mind. As we believe we are wealthy and living in abundance, we are there. If we believe we are living in lack, our belief is what makes it so.  And as we create and dwell in appreciation, there is a fullness within us and we can tap into a feeling of overflowing with abundance.

Artella: ARTbundance™ Coaching is based on nine ARTbundance™ Principles. Do you have a favorite Principle, or one that you really enjoy activating in other people? Which one, and why?

Caroline: I love activating in others the principle of gratitude. It is the basis of joy. When we focus on being grateful instead of focusing on what is wrong, we open the door for more things to be grateful for.

Artella: What does your future hold? What projects are you working on now?

Caroline: I am coaching and teaching more.  These classes or sessions include the 9 Principles and the idea that as you create a visual prompt, as in a clay piece, it serves as a reminder to BE where you focus your attention. Soon these will be online offerings. I am working on a deck of inspirational cards with images of my clay work on them.  I am beginning to offer intuitive portraits and personal oracle cards for people which represent their life purpose, life lesson and life school. If this sounds interesting to you, please contact me at caroline_douglas@comcast.net and check out my website at www.carolinedouglas.com.


About Caroline Douglas: I received a BFA in ceramics at the University of North Carolina and have worked with clay for 30 years.  Currently, my figurative sculptures are evocations of a dream world. Inspiration comes from mythology, fairy tales, and dreams, as well as the antics of animals and children. Publications include Ceramics: Art and Perception, Lark Books, The Shambhala Sun, and Better Homes and Gardens. My work is in the National Museum for Women in the Arts and many private collections.
