Artist, Writer, Educator CJMiller

CJMiller combines journaling, discussion, meditation, and group conversation that will expand your creative toolbox. His unique guidance helps you recognize your Creative DNA and discover new ways of working.

The Wizardry of Crystal Nelson

At the Spiritual Artist Retreat, I’m grateful to be joined by Crystal Nelson, a process-driven mixed media abstract artist whose work is inspired by texture, shape, and color. Based in the DFW area, Crystal studied printmaking and painting at the University of Texas at El Paso and brings a deep knowledge of collage, color theory, and layering techniques. Her expertise and supportive spirit enrich the retreat experience, helping participants explore new creative approaches while uncovering their own artistic voice.
