Synergy Conference
February 29th, 2008
The conference was a magical and inspiring event and my hat is off to the organizers and volunteers who made it such a seamless and exciting event!
The conference allowed us to converse and think deeply about our art as personal expression.
For me it is striving to find the balance and blend of
- content and narrative,
- fine technique and attention to detail
- personal style
Three early ways we can start to do this:
- Create a personal palette of colors that resonate for us indivdually
- Pay extra attention to sides and back of pieces
- Naming a piece early on (without alot of analyzing, but a quick thought from the heart or gut) helps me identify what the essence of the piece might be- of course, allowing that to morph and change is equally important!

I attended one of your Creative Sparks seminars and I’d like to thank you for such an exciting seminar. Between your class and Robert Dancik’s MuseIK seminar, I feel like I have a whole tool box of ideas to both jump start and challenge my creative process.

Dayle, I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed seeing you at Synergy and taking part in “Creative Sparks”. So much fun! I love that you talked about Jim Krause’s book by the same name. I recently posted about it on my blog, as well. His book, Color Index, is also a favorite of mine. Here’s my post about Jim:
