Gineen Cooper
is a poet, writer, visual artist, and trained SoulCollage facilitator.

For over six years now she has been leading groups in the use of writing, movement, meditation,
collage, dreamwork and painting to help people connect to their creative inner resources.

Showing visual work for the last fifteen years in local galleries, she has participated in local poetry
and fiction readings. Mostly recently, she also co-facilitated an ongoing weekly creative writing
group for the Recovery Learning Community in Northampton, MA for a year and a half.

She has been published in many literary journals. Most recently Naugatuck River Review's WINTER
'10 issue of narrative poetry featured her poem entitled "Late Words for My Sister."




Artist Statement
The practice of meditation has transformed my creative work.
It allows me to engage the energy of  the moment through the principles of mindfulness.

Through diverse mediums, my aim is to raise the consciousness of the viewer. My vehicles of
expression through writing are poetry, fiction, nonfiction, and playwriting. Visually I employ fiber
art, performance art, painting, printmaking, sculpture, installation art, photography and collage as
modalities.

Through my art I seek to bring awareness about societal issues which affect empowerment and
personal freedom.

I believe all beings are potential channels for the creative energy inherent in the universe. My
interactive art workshops teach others how to connect within themselves and discover their true
nature, discovering a way of being that is naturally happy, joyous and free.
