"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

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.
 The
Spring 2011 ARTbundance Certification Training program is currently in session.
