Lynne Farrow - Beyond creating something beautiful, I delight in people discovering that art-making can be deeply moving emotionally and spiritually. I enjoying helping others creatively imagine how they might tell their stories in word and image. I love the aha moments when meaning and metaphor move a group or an individual to a fuller understanding of life and community.
