b'Leslie GoldmanWILD CHERRY ARTSouth Orangewildcherryart.comPLAYFULS ince I was a little girl Ive loved to play, whether it was making music, creating art, or just hav-ing fun. I havent changed much. I approach my artusually acrylic paintingwith a loose idea of what I want to do. IlI meditate, play the sing-ing bowls, put on uplifting music and then play with colors, shapes, and textures. I tap into my clients energy with loving intentions. Being playful, open, joyful, and not judging whether my client will like it keeps the process expansive and inspired. Thats Alexa Harris-Ralff how my pieces become meaningful and special.
