Meet Amanda Christine of Conjunct Jupiter in South Denver

Today we’d like to introduce you to Amanda Christine.

Thanks for sharing your story with us Amanda. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
I’ve been making art since I was a child and have always been fascinated by the creative process. It is a driving urge in me to create, as well as a necessary part of my self-care. The need to create comes from a combination of curiosity, passion, connection, health, and play.

The desire to connect others to their own innate creativity is in response to the massive shift that focusing on art has played in my own well-being.

Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
Though the road has been perfect, it has not been smooth. I had a deeply intense childhood and struggled a lot later on with feelings of safety and mental/emotional health as a result.

Art, at various points in my life, has been a refuge for me, as well as a wellspring of peace and a source of joy and encouragement. My hope is that I can connect others to their own art so they can experience the vast bounty of comfort and ecstasy that creativity provides.

We’d love to hear more about your art. 
My business is called Conjunct Jupiter, and it is one part of art that is available for purchase and one part creativity coaching.

As an independent artist, I create a variety of offerings available for purchase, including paintings, drawings, wood burned objects – such as furniture – and fun wearables, like costumes and various clothing items. All of my creations are completely Earth-friendly and environmentally sustainable. I use recycled materials and convert them into bright treasures for peoples’ homes and/or businesses. Two of the words I most often hear in a description of my art is happy and uplifting. This fills me with a monumental sense of joy and nourishes me with gratitude because that is exactly the kind of thing I want to put out in the world.

As art has played such a huge role in my personal healing journey, I now want to share the gifts I have learned with others. I believe that art comes in many forms. It’s not simply what we traditionally think of as, “visual art”. Whatever your medium, whether it be cooking, writing, or making music, I want to help you find your creative potential and tap into what you were innately born with. It is my personal mission to help you meet your own authentic, creative self-expression!

What is “success” or “successful” for you?
Balance, happiness, health, smiling, time doing things I enjoy and love doing, Enough sleep, Healthy and compassionate eating, cooking, dancing, creating art, listening to music, singing, playing and going on walks with my dog. Laughing, hanging out with beloved friends, feeling my authentic feelings. Cultivating a sense of health, safety, sanity, and peace. Deep breathing! Stretching. Learning and growing every day. Finding new things to be curious about, as well as new beauty to appreciate and love to cherish. That is such a great question!
