THIS ancient tale tells the story of how a great king endured many trials to acquire the wisdom needed to save himself and his people. Great King Alexander’s destiny—unbeknownst to him—was to save Over Earth from destruction.

Welcome! I am Aviva Gold, your guide to the magic source. As children, all of us lived and painted intuitively, but somewhere along the line this freedom gets trained out of us, and we are either categorized as artists or not. Now as adults we can re-create the boundless joy of unselfconscious art by setting aside intellectual critique and self-doubt and reconnecting with the source.
Paint and remember! Return to the easel with the same child like sense of play. Learn to let go of inhibitions, relinquish control, and embrace the source. Using simple materials – tempera paints, newsprint – paint without worrying about the end product.
