I had the pleasure of working with a Cool Winter client whose colors I had done many years ago. She had tried to shop for her colors but wasn't really motivated to stay true to them until more recently when she brought her daughter in for a color analysis and remembered the WOW when seeing someone draped in the perfect shades. Enjoy reading Julie's experience immediately following the closet color refresh and taking advice from Kerry about putting together outfits in a new way. 

I am thrilled to introduce you to my friend, colleague and dreamwork mentor, Warm Spring Kristina Hutch Matthews.  Kristina is an artist, writer, animal lover, healing arts practitioner and so much more!  Her mother is also an accomplished and prolific artist and together they run the Penfield Arts Center. 

We immediately clicked when we met and I was excited to give her a color analysis given her natural talent for all things aesthetic.  I wasn't surprised to see her closet immediately following the analysis was filled with muted colors. That is typical these days, especially for those with a creative style.  But, I was shocked to see her closet a few months ago.  She has completely transformed it from the dusty colors of the past to lighter and brighter colors focused especially on the warmth of Warm Spring.  She has learned that the golden browns of her hair and eyes work perfectly as neutrals replacing blacks and grays.

Over the years, I have utilized many personal development tools but it was Kristina's dreamwork class that has given me the most incredible AHA moments. I thought the class would be fun and interesting and help me understand why I saw a whale or something like that but dreamwork is so much more!!  Kristina has a talent for giving feedback and fresh insight into a situation that may be challenging or lingering from the past.  My understanding of how to remember and process dreams has truly been life changing and transformative.  Kristina has brought so much color into my life!  Read more about her journey with her artistry and healing practices as well as her personal color journey in this month's blog:

What fun to introduce the incredibly colorful Bright Spring, Natalie Rae Dickerson!  I met Natalie when she was in the process of taking over the fabulous fine clothing store, Panache Consignment from my client and colleague Joan Lincoln. Meeting Natalie was like a burst of fresh air. She radiated warmth and vibrancy and was very game to learn more about what colors would be ideal for her. It was no surprise that she absolutely popped in the bright colors and that she jumped right in head first into wearing them. Every time I pop in to the shop, she is shining in some new combination of her colors. She redesigned the store to be organized by color and I find it so easy to find colors for myself and my clients.
