What is Process Art?

Simply put, process art is creating from the inside out. It’s a powerful tool for mindfulness, self-discovery, liberation, and inner alchemy… it can even be a form of spiritual practice. As it relates to visual art-making, process art is all about tuning into yourself and putting marks on paper without needing to understand it or control the results. There are no mistakes and no prior art experience is necessary…

Your Creativity Guides

We are Stephanie Gray and Jenny Hahn ~ Visual Artists, Writers, and Creative Transformation Guides with 25 years experience in the field of creative transformation and process art-making as a practice for spiritual awakening. Our paths connected in 1999 while attending workshops with teacher and mentor Sarah Oblinger of Paint or Die Studio (now Studio Exanimo) and were both transfixed as we learned how to use process art as a tool for self-discovery and healing in our own lives. Jenny was a recent art school graduate who received outward accolades but inwardly suffered from addiction to perfectionism. Stephanie came to the process in the midst of overwhelming life challenges and transitions. We each became hooked to process arts in our own way and have been practicing and teaching ever since… the rest is herstory!

  • “Creative Nectar Studio is a warm, friendly place that allows your creative soul to speak, dance and play. I get something out of the process every single time I go. Thanks Jenny and Stephanie for a very supportive experience.”

    ~ TM

  • “Painting for process is the gift of seeing with my eyes what’s going on with my thoughts and emotions that I’m usually too busy to notice. All I’m aware of is the confusion. Painting without concern for judgment or product is just plain fun and amazing.”

    ~ RM

  • “The workshop you facilitated with us opened an awareness of the importance of exercising the creative ‘muscle’. If I can create a painting, a song, what else can I create in my life?”

    ~VB

  • “The sheer joy of playing with color has been richly mixed and deepened with a refreshing, unconditional exploring of who I am in the present moment. It is a painting meditation. I am cultivating a deeper sense of who I am. I am deeply grateful.”

    ~ MH

What is Creative Flow?

Creative flow is a state of being we have access to when we release control and surrender to the bliss of pure expression. Process art is a tool we utilize for tapping into our creative flow — by tuning in, turning on, inviting play and following the thread. With enough practice, we can learn to drop into this flow of deeply centered presence and expression no matter what it is we’re doing …
