Individuals seeking to enrich their life balance through artistic expression may enjoy the new classes offered by Cecelia Blenker, an artist, certified life coach and the owner of True Creative You Life Coaching and Creative Journey Studio, located inside the Springs Gallery and Studios, in Waukesha. Participants can choose from process painting and meditation, acrylic painting, mixed media workshops, art journaling and heart-and-soul exploratory workshops. All levels of experience are welcome.

Nurturing the creative spirit can help one find balance, reduce stress, heal, move through life’s challenges and grow into one’s true self, according to Blenker, who holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and a Master of Education degree. After becoming very ill, she quit teaching art in public school, began to practice natural self-care and returned to her creative passion, becoming a full-time artist.
