Volcanic
Wonderland – Mud Pools
I have been fascinated by the movement and the patterns at the
volcanic mud pools at Waiotapo (near Rotorua New Zealand).
The mud is boiling hot and randomly blobs up. I tried to catch
the essence of the movement and the subsequent pattern with a series of photos.
The photos below are in no particular order. Taken with a Panasonic DMC-TZ7 Lumix.

Journal Page Experiments
Journal Page Experiments
As an artist I sometimes
find that “one” thing is not always enough. Enough, to express what I think,
feel and want to say.
One thing could be
writing some thoughts in a diary. Another one thing could be to draw or paint a
picture. But if you combine these “one” things, you are bound to end up with
the right thing. It is still debatable if the right thing should be called journaling.
It intrigues me and I have now started a process to find out.

Writing Poems
Creative Poem Writing
It was a rainy old day in Auckland and my very talented and artistic 11 year old son said "what can we do mum?"
Not long before this, I read an article on the Susannah Conway blog that gave inspiration for writing poems by cutting random words from magazines.
Not really being in the mood for painting or drawing, we decided this will be a good challenge and started cutting out random words from magazines at hand. We could not find nice full page pictures to use as background for the poems.
I remembered that I made some paintings with leftover paint a while ago (to be used as background for another collage painting or doodles). They ended up being the perfect background.
The creativity started in all earnest.
Below you will find a collection of the poems we wrote.

My name is Sane-Mari and I am a graduate of The Learning Connexion, New Zealand's biggest Art School, where I obtained a Diploma in Art & Creativity (Honours). Since 2008 I have participated in various group exhibitions in Tauranga, Wellington and Auckland, a solo exhibition in St Heliers Community Library in 2010 and a solo exhibition at The Depot - Devonport,in 2012. I have delivered Art Workshops to groups of children to explore some of "The Masters" as well as individual art lessons to develop creativity.
It's been proven that early exposure to visual art, music, or drama promotes activity in the brain.
·Art nurtures inventiveness as it engages children in a process that aids in the development of self-esteem, self-discipline, cooperation, and self-motivation.
·Participating in art activities helps children to gain the tools necessary for understanding human experience, adapting to and respecting others' ways of working and thinking, developing creative problem-solving skills, and communicating thoughts and ideas in a variety of ways.
On 8 Feb 2014 I will hold a FREE Workshop from 2 - 4pm.
