Contagious Creativity

WHO WE ARE

Come Create with us. We believe creativity is contagious. We expose women to creative ideas that paint themselves out of the dark corner of their world of INJUSTICE through education and contagious love by connecting women to women who will offer HOPE and practical assistance.

A VOICE

With our creative endeavors and special artistic workshops, women will display their corner of the world through art. This traveling art exhibit will release a SOUND as well as sight. EMPOWERMENT will come as corporations and Nations listen. Our VOICE becomes louder as we are one. We will partner with existing organizations that are active in women's advocacy. Our target will be to identify women at risk, those exploited through sex and trafficking caught in gender and domestic violence on a daily basis.

EDUCATION

We want creative expression to be realized and dignity restored. Just like job training skills are often learned more readily on location, we too believe this collaborative effort will generate new courage for women to face their fears. Inspiration will come as they listen,laugh,and share their story with other women on the team. Our artists will be a springboard for imagination. Art, like confidence, is more often caught than taught.

ASSISTANCE

Listen. Learn. Link. We want to identify the needs, connect and link the women at risk with other NGO's for practical assistance in their area of expertise and lend creative ideas that stimulate new job opportunities.

YOU CAN END SLAVERY OF WOMEN WORLDWIDE. COME CREATE A CHANGE THAT INFECTS THE WORLD. CONTAGIOUS CREATIVITY.

SPRINGS VISION

SPRINGS

an oasis for women seeking HOPE

OUR VISION: A NONPROFIT THAT PROVIDES A CREATIVE SPRINGBOARD TO REBUILD WOMEN’S LIVES AND PROVIDE DESTINY FOR THEIR FAMILIES.

OUR BELIEF: CREATIVITY IS G-D-GIVEN AND WITHIN THE FABRIC OF A WOMANS SOUL.

OUR MISSION: CREATIVE IDEAS USED for EDUCATION and ENPOWERMENT TO END THE CYCLE OF GENERATIONAL LOSS OF DIGNITY AND INABILITY TO PROVIDE FOR THEIR FAMILIES.

OUR METHOD: WORKSHOPS CONNECTING WOMEN WITH WOMEN. UNSUNG HEROINES USING ART AND DESIGN TO STIMULATE INJUSTICE AWARENESS AND ENGAGE IN BECOMING COMMUNITIES OF HOPE.

OUR MOTIVATION: “HAVING A LIFE WHERE THE HARD KNOCKS ALMOST KEPT ME UNDER AND ARISING TO BE A WOMAN WHO COULD FIX ANYTHING”. *

THE HISTORY BEHIND SPRINGS:

A single woman with 2 small babies, left penniless and a husband in prison and nowhere to turn- what can she do? That was me 28 years ago. The RESOUCES of HEAVEN opened and the greatest TREASURY of CREATIVE IDEAS erupted. As I waited, a WELL SPRING of HOPE surfaced! Further inspiration and help from other women encouraged me that I could live out my dream. I literally painted my way out of a black corner. A successful Interior Design company was launched after years of creative discovery and job opportunities of serving others. The focus and desire of SPRINGS is to be a resource and “water spring for dry women, withered and bent under life situations, and to offer an atmosphere where solutions to life’s hard problems, the cracks in the walls of hearts are fixed”.* My utmost desire is to be able to generate creative ideas with a traveling art exhibit that will create injustice awareness and new jobs.

internation women's day!

So excited as I launch SPRINGS, a non profit for women. ( follow upcoming blogs to learn more) Yesterday, I got the unction to start. Who would know it was International Day for Women, love those nudges!! I know my CREATIVE efforts will be a bridge to enable women to get to the other side. As a designer I can SEE the BIG PICTURE. This will take lots of connecting and resources from women on the FRONTLINE. I just attended a conference with women from the nations becoming a voice for the voiceless. This shouted loud, "now is the time. " It is of utmost importance to clearly announce freedom. HOPE for a better future comes when we point the way. I may go to London this summer. Share the excitement in this announcement. (See related article below)

My son in law is from Germany, thrilled that this nation took the lead 1oo years ago. (read the following article) Susie Childers from YWAM, by the way is a German started an organization called VOICE TO THE VOICELESS. She vividly captures the heart of hurting women in the world thru a camera lens. I hope to connect you to her treasures. They are rare finds. The Springs project is a little different than most of my design career. I always was in search for the right piece to awaken the room. Now my quest is to find the particular women's organizations and help them thru a creative endeavor be remembered . My client's always remarked how I made a room come to life. Usually an overlooked treasure in a shopping expedition would win my heart and give life back to an ordinary room. True love for a designer. My heart's desire is to find True Love and make her recognized. The procurement will be costly, one life at a time. I intend to fill hearts, not homes with love that lasts. Love does not get stale or fade. Style depicts a trend. Love is a trend that adds style. We can set Trends. Wait and see how using mixed media and good design in a women's creative workshop will become a TREND SETTER. We will partner with women philanthropists and professional artists. As the art projects grow it will be our greatest pleasure to have an exhibit and auction of the designs and art projects.
