Out of the Fog: Intuition, Art, and the Creative Process with Cheryl Sylivant

Cheryl Sylivant takes Picasso's famous quote "All people are artists, the problem is to remain an artist as we grow up", and opens up abstract art viewing and making as a way of seeing and experiencing intuitive creative living energy. She opens the creative process as a path for permission to be present with the unknown, to feel being in the body, for growth, healing, and support. Cheryl Sylivant learned about the brain and then later started to paint. Her first idea about art was to wonder what energy would look like on a canvas. That was over 20 years ago, and her work has moved from taking art instruction at the University of Pennsylvania, to 8 full-time months of studio painting at the Art Student's League of New York, to developing a travel working method in which she has painted bodies of work with oil on canvas in 5 continents in locations in Europe, areas of India, China, Morocco, places in South America and many in the United States. Cheryl offers techniques to work with art as a way of living energy, as a practice, including intuition and self-acceptance. She believes that abstract art making is a spiritual and embodiment practice, and knows it changes the brain and helps open an ability to be present in the unknown. In addition to her paintings, she offers creative energy coaching, energy readings, and readings of art. Cheryl learned color as a make-up artist. She has a BA in psychology, and studied art and art history at university. She has certificates in filmmaking, interior design, herbalism, intuitive coaching, and intuition practice.
