The Lifelong Journey of Creation: From Childhood to Retirement
​In every stage of life, the act of creating plays a crucial role in fostering personal growth, well-being, and a sense of fulfillment. Whether you're a child exploring the wonders of imagination or a retiree embracing newfound leisure, the importance of creating remains constant. From our kid camps to our classes at assisted living facility we know the significance of creativity at each life stage contributes to a rich and fulfilling existence.

Childhood:
Nurturing Imagination and LearningIn the early years, children naturally gravitate towards creativity. Encouraging artistic expression through activities like drawing, painting, and storytelling not only fuels their imagination but also lays the foundation for essential cognitive skills. Our kid art camps create a safe and encouraging space to help kids thrive. 

Adolescence:
Self-Discovery Through Artistic ExpressionAs individuals navigate the challenges of adolescence, creativity becomes a powerful outlet for self-expression. Whether it's writing, music, or visual arts, engaging in creative endeavors helps teenagers discover their identity and cope with the complexities of growing up.  Many of our classes are open for teens. We encourage parents to bring their teens and treat the classes as a time to bond over creating.

Adulthood:
Balancing Work and Passion ProjectsAmidst the responsibilities of adulthood, it's vital to carve out time for creative pursuits. Whether it's a side hustle, a hobby, or a passion project, creating allows adults to maintain a healthy work-life balance and cultivate a sense of purpose beyond their professional obligations. We believe our classes can help with this by bringing creativity and community together.

Midlife:
Renewal and RediscoveryAs individuals reach midlife, the need for renewal and rediscovery becomes apparent. Engaging in creative activities can be a rejuvenating experience, providing an outlet for stress relief and a means to explore new interests. Whether you’re in the chaos of parenting and just needing a break to recharge or you’re an empty nester trying to rediscover who you are we feel embracing activities outside of your comfort zone to be beneficial.

Retirement:
Embracing Leisure and Artistic PursuitsRetirement marks a new chapter of freedom and leisure. Creative activities during this stage not only offer a fulfilling way to spend time but also contribute to mental well-being. From painting to writing, retirees can explore a variety of artistic pursuits to stay mentally active and socially connected. Staying connected after leaving your work family is important and we help connect you to others.

A Lifelong Journey of CreativityIn conclusion, the journey of creation is a lifelong endeavor that contributes to personal development, mental well-being, and a sense of purpose. Regardless of age, embracing creativity enriches our lives, fostering continuous growth and satisfaction.

By acknowledging and promoting creativity at every life stage, we can ensure a fulfilling and well-rounded existence. So, whether you're guiding a child's first steps into the world of art or exploring your creative side in retirement, remember that the act of creating is a timeless and invaluable pursuit.

What is Lush Life?

Originally posted on another website, and moved here.  Lush Life is about how living your best life often starts with living outside your comfort zone.  What if I didn't open Lush Art?  I mean, it scared the bejeezus out of me.  What did I know about running a business?  Not a hell of a lot.  But what did I do?  Did I wait around?  Did I keep it on my dream shelf to think about every once in awhile?  No!  I did it.  I opened on a wing and a prayer, and a unsecured line of credit.  I found a place I had to do minimal to as far as getting it open.  I had the walls painted and started painting ideas.  I turned my dreams into plans and my plans into a purpose.  My purpose was to create a safe and relaxing place for women to paint, to play, to forget about all the stresses and responsibilities of life, if only for a short while.  I can say after 4 years of building this purpose, I am very proud of what it has become.  


Sure, I have days I cuss the day I decided to do this.  I mean it was pretty easy being a stay at home mom, comparatively.  Not that being a stay at home mom is easy, it is hard, but it had less pressure than opening and running a business.  I didn't open because we "needed" me to work.  I was lucky, my husband's job provides for us to live.  There are difficult customers, bitchy social media trolls, inventory issues, there is always something.  But I needed more.  MORE.  I needed a purpose, I knew I had a passion and I wanted to share it.   But some days it is REALLY HARD.  


But then I get a good review raving about Lush Art, I have someone run up to me at a restaurant and say "You're the Lush Art girl, I love you on Instagram!", or I have someone send me a message about how they are bringing their friend to paint because she recently lost her mother and needs a place to let loose and have a break from her grief for just one evening.  


That my friends, is why I do what I do.  That is why I keep adding to it.  We opened Escape Artists War Town last year to reach a different group of people, to provide another safe space for people to play. Adults need to play too.  And I have decided to add to it again.  Enter the Lush Art expansion, Lush Lounge.  Lush Lounge is a multi use facility that allows ideas I have had, and didn't have the right space for, to happen.  We have a comfy seating, tables and chairs, a bar.  We have board games, trivia nights, Fan nights, special guests, a book club (Club Book), Monthly Mimosas with Cara, smaller and more intimate class options, and so much more.  The Lounge is a fun relaxing space for our customers to use.  


What is my motto in 2018?  Be the 2%.
