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, always! As of August 2009, Here's the latest "about
me"!
I LOVE COLOR - I love the ARTS - I LOVE CREATING - especially
DAILY PAINTING and my newest love SEWING-I love MUSIC -I
LOVE podcasts and podcasting! I LOVE teaching! 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, eight 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 TEACHING
in person and online. Oh and we can't leave out VIDEO BLOGGING.
I love to work in many different mediums from writing and
acting, furniture and fabric design, sewing, 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
