Hi, my name is Joyce. My nickname is Winged. I have through the decade searched for joy and identity through creative self-expression. I personally believe being happily engaged in writing and art making is better than not; and secondly, living without depression, pain and anger is better than living with them. If you're doing something artful, and smiling, look out, you're probably having fun.
I would like to meet others like me, who have much to say and need a way to say it. I also will be adding some poetry and photography. I specialize in taking pictures of my own ceramic art and landscape. I marvel at Mother Nature and her beauty. I also indulge in humor on the web. Between the pages of my book, I raised my grandchildren. Thank you for reading me and hope to create a bond with you all.
For me, this book was an exploration, and most of the time, it was an exscuse to live perpetually in fantasyland; a way to avoid all the mental and physical problems of an imperfect world. Every word written is a victory against dysfunction. Not everybody gets a second chance at living a worthwhile life. I thankfully, did. Writing and making art put me in touch with my inner artist who was choking to create a new me, a happy, self-achieving me. I've been slowly and quietly growing and changing into the person I've always wanted to be, a writer, a poet and an authority on surviving depression with Art Therapy. It is my hope this book will help others as much as writing it helped me. I'm Winged for Art Therapy.
Winged: Joyce White
Birth Place: St. Louis, MO US
Accomplishments: I am a mother, grandmother, ceramic artist, sculptress, author, photographer, wife and now at 62, a published author.

| Uplifted by Angels...is a poem I wrote I'd like to introduce myself with:I pray to be a celestial artisan, that my soul sprinkled with passionate thoughts of God's love, when I'm tired, let their angelic wings fan me with healing energetic breezes, light my eyes with the lamps from God so I can see what is right or wrong, bless me with "celestial" knowing, wit, wryness, color and an angelic sense of timing, and let my optimism fall like seeds to the moist warm ground and take root in the footsteps of others.
