Finding the Freedom to Create, a discussion of the book by Dianne Mize.

Travel with Dianne Mize as she takes you on a journey to your inner artist and guides you with practical ways to set aside struggle and enjoy being the creative individual that you know you are. Mize inserts tutorials and brain teasers among philosophical ideals and psychological certainties as she compares the processes in the visual arts with music and shows parallels in an array of pursuits using examples from Mozart to Danica Patrick. She explores in depth how the composing principles artists use are direct reflections of a healthy human psychology as well as the organizing energy that keeps nature and the universe working. Whether you are just beginning or already proficient as an artist, Finding Freedom to Create provides an enlightening guide to help you find confidence in your inner voice and tap into solid resources that can aid you on the way to artistic wholeness.

“We are each born with a uniqueness that is our individuality.  If we exchange that uniqueness for a mask of any kind, we will not fully realize our purpose on this earth.  It is within this part of ourselves where we are truly free to create”

— Dianne Mize, Finding Freedom to Create
