From One Wildly Creative Soul to Another

Molly Anderson-Childers is a wildly creative soul from Durango, CO. She is a writer, artist, and creative arts instructor. She graduated Magna Cum Laude from Fort Lewis College with a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology, and successfully completed their Elementary Teacher Education Program. Her work has appeared in various publications, including The Durango Telegraph, Southwest Colorado Arts Perspective, Images, Voice Be Heard, The Four Corners Business Journal and On the Wings of Poetry.

She says, "I believe that writing and creating artwork is my one sacred purpose in this life. I devote as much time as possible to achieving my creative goals. Although I juggle several part-time jobs and struggle with a busy schedule, I dream of a time in the future when I can belly-dance with The Muses all day. With this goal before me, I know I am unstoppable. I believe that everyone is an artist, whether they know it or not. Through workshops, classes, and private arts instruction, I share this belief with others, inspiring them to create fabulous poems, stories, and artwork." Molly blogs at: stealingplums.blogspot.com.
