Creative Practice and the Thread of Unknowing: Elizabeth Ivy Hawkins :: On Pause [Eps 10]
Elizabeth Ivy Hawkins is a painter, professor, and writer. She is a Professor of Creativity & Innovation and holds faculty positions at The Creativity & Innovation Honors Institute at Cornerstone University and Grand Valley State University in Visual & Media Arts. Recently, she was accepted as a student in the Living School at the Center for Action and Contemplation. Her art has been exhibited regionally and nationally, including the former Rouge Space in New York and the Los Angeles Center for Digital Art.
Her story Where I Fell in Love was published on The Story Gathering Podcast. Her writing has appeared in Ruminate Magazine, Off the Page, and most recently, she painted as the protagonist Wren Crawford in the book Remember Me, by Sharon Garlough Brown.
In this podcast we talk about:
developing creative rhythms for home, work, and faith,
silence, solitude, and movement as contemplative practice,
what art can teach us about letting go and moving forward in pandemic and unknowing,
facing fears and darkness, and
the artist becoming art both as a maker and a conduit.
She reads William Stafford's poem, "The Way It Is" from his book The Way It Is available at Gray Wolf Press.

On Pause: Healing Words from Everyday Artists during Isolation is a special series to help creative people find groundedness, belonging, and courage during the coronavirus outbreak. I’ve asked artists to share words that are beacons of honesty, truth, and goodness to their souls during this time of distance as a global community on pause.
