(Rancho Mirage, CA)—June 22, 2009—On July 22, 2009 two noted valley therapists will begin The Right To Write – a four week workshop inspired by the popular book by the same name by Artist’s Way creator Julia Cameron.
Carol Teitelbaum, LMFT and Deborah Meints, LMFT will co-facilitate the workshop designed to help people explore the world of writing or escape existing creative blocks through expressive exercises and a journey into literature, poetry and music, designed to awaken the creative spirit.
“Writing connects the heart to the hand,” says Teitelbaum. “Learning to express one’s self upon the page leads to a grounded sense of well being and can open up rooms to the subconscious where one can find limitless riches.”
The workshop begins on July 22nd from 6-8 p.m. and ensues over the course of four weeks at Carol Teitelbaum’s office located at 41-750 Rancho Las Palmas Drive, D-2, Rancho Mirage, CA 92270. Participation costs $180 and anyone can attend by calling 760-346-4606.
Dara is nine years old and has been creating unique works of art since she was three. Her early work was mostly colored markers, pencils and crayons on paper with life form drawings of dogs, cats, people, houses, butterflies, insects and trees. Dara has a strong eye for details. Her current work “Katz n’ thingz” was inspired by the growth of her kitten this past year to a fully grown cat and her real life experiences. Recently, Dara has expanded her artistic creations to shape and paint rocks and other things of nature.
To celebrate Dara’s 9th birthday, halfway to 18, Images by Gideon Fine Art Gallery is pleased to present “Katz n’ Thingz”, a solo exhibit of Dara’s work. Artist reception will include birthday cake and goodies.
All proceeds will be contributed to Dara’s college fund.

Art Fair SourceBook has just named La Quinta Arts Festival #8 in nation among fine art festivals in the 2009 rankings. The rankings are based on average sales reported by the event’s exhibitors. Only two California festivals; La Quinta Arts Festival and Sausalito Art Festival ranked in the top 25.
“Art Fair SourceBook is a highly respected resource for artists deciding on which shows to participate. This ranking is yet another endorsement serving to attract new talent from across the nation to our show. For instance, this March La Quinta Arts Festival will welcome 56 new exhibitors. That equates to over 25% of the show’s artists whose work has not been seen before in the Coachella Valley”, said Christi Salamone, Executive Director, “and we are proud to be the venue that keeps the art scene fresh and growing”.
The 27th Annual La Quinta Arts Festival is scheduled March 12 through 15, 2009 at La Quinta Civic Center Campus. For more information or to purchase tickets visit LQAF.com.
