The author is a self-made artist. Moving forward from the intense frustration which she encountered as a student of art she let her own imagery be her instructor. Her imagery guided her to art forms. Being the spouse of a creative researcher is a very risky state of affairs! Mrs Khatena then tried her process of drawing from imagery rather than drawing serving as a constraint on imagery on her husband. She has since used it as Creative Liberation for college students. Mrs Khatena shows the similarities between writing prose and drawing. She sees Nature as the alphabet of art. Her paper shows the unlimited growth and fulfillment which can come from letting drawing and painting happen.
