I chose to make myself the first groovypreneur listed here since I am creating this community of creatives. You can find more info on me in the first blog entry below this one where I state my present, availability, and more background. I describe an eco-fiction series and where I am with that. Over this next month I will share of myself, and of course there will be overlap in my own blog from my POV on these related topics you may want to explore with me.

Creative Process is another key to living the creative life, and oft times we lead a dual life in the midst of individual survivability when all we truly want as creatives is to thrive while contributing. Focusing on others creative process and how it ties in to their entrepreneurial efforts fascinates me, as I hope it will you, too.  I will share much more on creative process and include my own musings and fire soon.

If  this is something that resonates with you, introduce yourself in a post here on this blog.  With the trend toward Creative Economies, this is a key concept to how one is fulfilling her right livelihood by living an authentic life and rising voice.  I truly believe it is through the reinvention of oneself so many fresh ideas are born. Sharing personal journeys go hand in hand with one’s entrepreneurial path.

be groovy!

TODAY

ShaRose is launching *groovypreneur* with a focus at present in evolving creative culture, eclectic opportunities, frugal abundance and creative economies.  ShaRose’s personal mission of wildest imaginings and wild at art-ness: “Art gives you wings”: Clearing the path to creative frontiers of artful expression, natural wonder, and imagination for the inner artist, curious explorer, and wild soul within everyone to draw out what’s inside and color outside of the lines..

Invited to facilitate assorted creative activities around the Las Vegas and Southern Nevada region during the first two years since her arrival, ShaRose took a step back to rediscover her creative soul and slow down  For the next two years since then, ShaRose has been reinventing herself through her creative projects with a focus on her multi-genre writing, inventive concepts and a return to her handcrafts/object creations, abstract painting, whimsical design, mixed-media collage and digital collage/painting. Presently, she is setting up multiple online formats/art shops/portfolio sites and evolving her recent deep research into establishing an actual web presence. It is this journey into building her own creative economy she will share what she learns with a growing community of groovypreneurs she has already had the pleasure of beginning to encounter within social networks and continued meandering along the digital frontier of blogs, websites, projects, collaborations and more!

She is particularly excited about her work-in-progress arching an original eco-fiction series for juvenile/young adults. ShaRose has extended an open invitation for ecology-minded individuals, groups, school teams, projects, organizations ad infinitum, to join her as an integral, collaborative component that will be woven into the eco-story series. This is a freshly baked genre invention weaving real places, people and planetary concerns to tie-in solution-oriented and visionary processes in a creative thinktank/idealab all its own.

MORE BACKGROUND

ShaRose Niedelman is a native Los Angeles multimedia artist devoted to the creative process. She has facilitated workshops for adults and international artists, and produced special events, media, and exhibits with an avid interest in the intersection of art, science, emerging technology and social participation. Exhibitions of and including her art have been publicly displayed in Southern & Northern California, Canada and Las Vegas, Nevada.

As an Art Educator, Youth Mentor and Creativity Enthusiast, ShaRose has provided support for children and youth with special needs, who are medically/physically challenged, at-risk, and learning disabled. She has enjoyed teaching art in progressive education environments contributing to the whole child and community experience with children and youth from varied walks of life. In her teaching practice of art, technology and cartooning classes to children, youth and adults in Southern & Northern California and Southern Nevada, she has implemented afterschool enrichment programs, summer workshops, school inservices, studio workshops, and creativity seminars.

She shares her pursuit for individual expression and her passionate curiosity for exploration, discovery and learning.  A versatile Visual Artist, Community Artist and Arts Educator integrating traditional and digital arts knowledge with an enthusiasm and resourcefulness for tactile, participatory and sensory experiences, ShaRose designs curriculum and creative activities through holistic practices. She has created successful, experimental, sensory and imagination-building programs and curriculum for children, youth and adults.

Her creative research is always evolving to investigate something fresh and new, and to bring this sensibility for others to absorb. She brings her resourcefulness and indepth Visual Arts Practices whereever she goes. She received her B.A. in Studio Art with a Painting emphasis from Sonoma State University, and has attended various Computer Art, Multimedia and Graphics trainings to continually further her artistic skill level. Digital Collage and Storytelling are areas close to her heart and soul with its strength in narrative voice and image manipulation. Foremost, ShaRose appreciates glue on her fingers as she works a traditional collage or the color of wet paint as she invents a new mixed media and printmaking concept.

She brings an eclectic background in emerging technologies, production, interactive multimedia, assorted media design formats and unique special events.  Simultaneously, over the years, ShaRose has carved a niche as a published Poet, Creative Writer-Researcher, and Technology Journalist with editing and proofreading expertise.  ShaRose has completed works in Children’s Media, Entertainment, Documentary, Curriculum, Publishing, Research, Prototype Design and Fine Art. Her repertoire includes small to large scale projects and special event production. With over two decades of Visual and Digital Media Production experience, she can now merge these areas into an ongoing stream of fluid artmaking technique.

With a solid and eclectic background in communications, information gathering, and presentation abilities – verbal, written, archival, artistic and expressive – she can speedily organize, facilitate and implement production logistics and technical resolution on a small to large scale. On one high-end project, she saved the organization over $100,000 in labor costs for a large-scale Festival and tapped into local resources and communities. Harvesting from the wealth of creativity in those that surround her and unifying communal energy, ShaRose gravitates toward a shared, co-creative community experience for festival installation, participant theater, social experience and a new definition of public art.

She continues to pursue her interests in emerging technologies, creative writing, research, data mining, media arts, installation and illustration.  Her educational programs in the Visual Arts have met with success, working with a broad range of youth.  ShaRose is creating, exhibiting, and collaborating in the evolution of Tradigitals, a combination of Traditional & Digital Collage with Mixed Media, Printmaking and Recycle Art concepts intertwined. Her technical proficiency ranges in diversity in multimedia, animation, Internet research, photography, illustration & media production.

As a Designer – Illustrator – Inter-Media Artist, her visual arts technique and technology skillsets apply attention-to-detail through innovative conceptual, technically inventive and artistic creation for custom and prototype design achieving collaborative, informational, communications, product and creative excellence. ShaRose has produced creative and commercial works for formats on Digital, Video, Film, CD-I, CD-ROM, Web, Print, TV, and for Live event-driven, Performative, Teleconference, Web, and Global Events. Her early training oriented her while in motion to contribute on projects as an art & technology liaison between art interface & programming for interactive prototypes, integrated media, multimedia installation & theatrical performance.

Eco-conscious activism and recycling for art reuse are important matters of concern for ShaRose. She continues to share this message and research ideas as to how a collaborative effort can bring a creative solution for our planet to preserve our resources in the name of art through creative materials exchanges and clearinghouse warehouse depots for artists, youth, individuals, collectives and communities to benefit synergistically.

Conducting travel research, both interior and exterior, is her favorite kind of exploration to anywhere and what she might find in her happy wanderings, something fresh to bring home to her artmaking and unfolding process. It is the journey that matters most, and she looks forward to expanding her travels to journey around the planet to explore and experience remote places of beauty, cultural art hubs and meeting amazing people.
