ABOUT THE ARTIST :: MARISA HAEDIKE
Hello Everyone! It's been a bit since I've updated this "about" page. Creative Thursday is evolving and so am I. As of October 2006, Here's the latest "about me"!

I LOVE COLOR - I love the ARTS - I LOVE DAILY PAINTING -I love MUSIC (especially since my discovery of the ipod) -and now I LOVE podcasts and podcasting! I love Food - I love WINE - I love LAUGHING with friends who are like family and family who are like friends - I love Travel - I love FlOWERS - I love the OCEAN - I love Freedom - I love LOVE.

With a background in advertising, acting, graphic design and interior design - it is all beginning to make sense now...
I have been creative all my life, and since my return to California, five years ago now, I decided to trust the artist within me. My ever-restless entrepreneurial spirit has finally found a home in the limitless design of all things creative, including the newest ventures PODCASTING and DAILY PAINTING. I love to work in many different mediums from writing and acting, furniture and fabric design to photography and painting. I am inspired by everything I listed in the first paragraph and then some.

And you ask, "what is Creative Thursday?" A question I hear often. I realized that I am happy when I am being creative. When I was working my 9 to 5 job in Colorado and hardly getting any creative time in, I decided that at least one day a week, Thursdays, had to be set aside for Fun and Creativity! And this is how CREATIVE THURSDAY was born.

When you visit this site I hope you feel inspired to be more creative in your own life, and to surround yourself with color as you can't help but feel happy and alive in its presence. Just remember there is no limit to what we can do when we live to be FREE, Happy and TRUE and be CREATIVE every day, especially THURSDAYS!
