What makes me a Creative Catalyst?

LEAP! with Carmen Lund 

My expertise, experience and empathy  will take you  from here to there regardless of your current situations!

I am sure you want to know the answer to the question of  what makes me a Creative Catalyst. The best way for me to respond is to share some of my personal history with you:

For the past thirty years,  I have successfully been leaping from one improbable goal to the next and accomplishing time and again what everyone told me was impossible.  While it has not always been easy, my creative approach to problem solving and goal setting enabled me to support myself as an internationally recognized artist and teacher of painting while raising my three awesome children and furthering my education.  The following quotes express my personal viewpoint and attitude towards life.

“There are only two ways to lead your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle.
The other is as though everything is a miracle.”
Albert Einstein

“Live life to the fullest.  You have to color outside the lines once in awhile if you want to make your life a masterpiece.  Laugh some everyday, keep growing, keep dreaming, keep following your heart.  The important thing is to never stop questioning.”
Albert Einstein

As a Creative Catalyst — my expertise is in connecting people to their innate creativity and unique vision.  I have found that my years of work and personal experience has added to my belief that all individuals have a personal vision, and I am passionate about re-connecting individuals to theirs and  supporting them as they re- discover their strengths and to build on them to create their next brilliant chapter.

I have been inspiring and encouraging creative change and thinking out of the box in the lives of many for most of my life.  It is my joy to help people make creative changes based on their unique experiences, talents and gifts.  You’re next!

Contact me at LEAP! with Carmen Lund to see how I can best support you and empower you as you become the person you were  always meant to be in both your personal and professional life.

Testimonials:

I have had such a complete high since leaving Carmen’s workshop, thinking about the joy of being with other creative people, personally letting go and getting out of my box,  and finding new ways to use my flowing lines in my artwork.
Sue Collins

I met Carmen one day after a Yale concert in which I was performing. I KNEW I had to create a special bond with this person, and I was right!

Carmen has helped me in ways of growing mentally, emotionally and spiritually. I am beginning to see the life from a different perspective.

Our work together has helped me to think outside of myself. I’m seeing people in a much different way and am appreciating the gift of life every single moment. I am SO thankful to have this special friend in my life. She is one-of-a-kind. Whoever works with her will be touched forever.

C- caring (and courageous!)
A- artistic

It was great catching you the other day…I told my mom later that we talked and that I think you’re a force of nature. She said you have been that way as long as she has known you and proceeded to tell me stories of your triumphs over adversity; fighting to get your children into the best schools and keeping them there and otherwise forging ahead with determination and no small amount of talent.
You’re right where you should be, coaxing/coaching and inspiring other people to dig deep and overcome their own travails.
Heather Bathon Furbish

I had such a wonderful time in your workshop painting and getting to know a great group of women. I left with a fresh painting perspective, Now I can tackle that big empty canvas that has been drifting around my home for months.

I regret missing your workshop on April 24, 2010. Do you have another workshop coming up in the near future?
