Creative Beginnings
Since early childhood Christine DeJuliis has turned to various art forms for self-expression and reflection. Through creative play she was able to connect to the deepest most authentic aspects of who she is. Although her most intimate poetry and art-making were kept private for most of her life, her creativity continued to provide refuge from uncertainty and confusion. Although life presented its challenges, she had an inner-knowing that expression through art could heal her, so she continued to write and make art when and where she was able.
Expressive art was simply something that was part of who she was. No matter what tried to silence her expression from coming through, it kept rising to the surface wanting to be seen and heard. In fact, Art would help save her life.
The Importance of Art
It is only fitting that art has been the catalyst for Christine’s most recent personal and spiritual growth. It is this growth that has led her to focus her energy entirely on creativity and a newly chosen path in life. If you are someone interested in the transformative power of self-expression through art she is eager to connect with you. If you are curious about your creative side and finding the authentic creative voice within, you will benefit from Christine’s experience and desire to help others.
As a self-taught artist and poet, she is an unwavering advocate for the value of expressive art. Christine is the founder/creator of Art Without End, which presents simple steps that anyone can implement to awaken the creative spirit and nourish their unique soulful expression. In conjunction with the launch of Art Without End she will implement a comprehensive program dedicated to the teachings and practice of the A.W.E. principles in a safe and supportive environment.
Here to Serve
If you are a healer or seeking to heal, if you seek spiritual renewal and inner peace, if you are an artist or non-artist feeling a call for greater connection to your soul and life-purpose, Christine is dedicated to serving you. She believes that creative ability resides within each of us and that small steps and practice can lead to great self-discovery and even world-change.
Expressive art made in a safe and loving environment can transcend learned beliefs, habits and circumstances to bring your unique magnificent expression into the world. This belief supports her life’s work and is the foundation of the message she is committed to bring to the world. Her own experience of personal transformation and vision of the "artist in each of us" and “a better world through art” are at the heart of desire to make a difference in the lives of others.
The Creative Journey Continues
Her small business Art and Alchymie LLC, will provide products and services to creatively enhance your life. As an expressive arts advocate and facilitator, her soon to be launched signatuare program Art Without End is sure to make an impact on anyone interested in exploring their creative side and developing their artistic intuition. Art Without End came into being as a result of major life changes and its magic continues to unfold. Through practice of the A.W.E. steps Christine has overcome great obstacles and she wishes to share what she has learned so that others may experience their own transformation through the joy, grace and miracles of the creative process and art.
Connection and Community
Connection to other creative minds and inspired souls is vital to promoting the advocacy of expressive art and creative living.

- Albert Einstein
“Art, although produced by man’s hands, is something not created by hands alone, but something which wells up from a deeper source of our soul…My sympathies in the literary as well as in the artistic field are drawn most strongly to those artists in whom I see most the working of the soul.”
– Vincent Van Gogh
“When I am painting, I’m not aware of what I’m doing. It is only after a sort of getting acquainted period that I see what I have been about. I have no fears about making changes, destroying the image, etc., because the painting has a life of its own. I try to let it come through. It is only when I lose contact with the painting that the result is a mess. Otherwise, there is pure harmony, an easy give and take, and the painting comes out well.”
-Jackson Pollock
The Art Without End philosophy embraces artistic freedom believing rules serve no purpose in self-expression; they can only do harm – the artist’s mind must be clear and most of all free. Art in itself is not truth but reveals truth and beauty. Our individual and collective truth and the beauty that is the foundation of life and the awe we experience in its presence. Art as self-expression does not seek perfection; the pursuit of perfection leads to mediocrity and lacks the inner element of feeling. It cannot therefore reveal truth or beauty. One of the greatest things we can do is teach ourselves to see beauty in the common place. Take nothing for granted and to discover beauty where others have not found it.
There exists the artist in each of us and it is my purpose and joy to help people tap into their innate creative potential.
