For Creativity
Charlene Lutz is a healing artist and educator whose work grows from decades of personal healing and creative exploration. Guided by intuition, nature, and the slow rhythms of art-making, she invites others to reconnect with their inner voice through creativity, reflection, and gentle presence.
Though her formal training is in painting and education—not therapy—Charlene’s own journey through trauma has shaped the way she approaches teaching and community work. Her art, writing, and workshops are rooted in empathy, curiosity, and the belief that creativity can restore, illuminate, and transform.
Through Layers of a Creative Life, Charlene shares poetry, stories, and artwork that weave together themes of healing, nature, and intentional living. Her path has led from Pennsylvania to Maine and now northern New Mexico, where she continues to teach and create, inspired by the desert landscape and its spaciousness.
At the center of her practice is a quiet invitation: creativity as a pathway to renewal, resilience, and a deeper sense of belonging.
