Are You a Dreamer?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>ABOUT THE CREATIVE DIRECTOR/OWNER, Deb Drager
When one declares to become an ARTIST with the inner desire to CREATE, I think wonderful things find you, even when you are not even looking for them! I learned at an early age to JUST DREAM...
I stumbled on to my attraction to essential oils in the 70's in the hippy- shoppes found in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Back then, certain aromas just drew me in and enhanced my spirits, lifted my mood, gave me the ability to feel calm or even more creative...what was in these little bottles of potions?
I discovered a diffuser in the 80's and really enjoyed sharing the 'oil-experience' in my environments and with others...I became a self-employed graphic designer in 1986 and began to realize 'my smells' would effect clients and other artists on my team...(but then I was only tuned in to the sensory aroma-power)
In the 90's as I was now a Master Faux Artisan-Graphic Design combo, I was painting everything in sight! Transforming surfaces with paint, plaster & patterns...traveling many States and Schools; learning, sharing, growing as a Professional Artisan...until 1995, when my World came to a halt! A crashing blow of CANCER that stopped me in my tracks. One never grasps the depths of feeling good until you feel so bad...I felt so bad that a FIGHT emerges from within my soul that declared; "YES!, I want to feel alive again! I want to feel WHOLE again!" So we fight.
And Praises be to the Good Lord above, He kept me here.
He revealed to me that I too, had a STORY TO TELL. I too, had the ability to FEEL better and now 2 more decades of my journey, I too , have been given another amazing GIFT...doTerra.
Right in front of me, leading the way, another kindred spirit of the creative kind...my dear 'art-daughter", Izabella opened this door of possibility and wonder. Did I step inside right away? NO, it had to incubate. I had to slowly get my groove on... I had to move a few dozen times, start over. FAIL. Get up. Paint more things. Design new things.
BUT NOW, my friends, the path I am on has found me in Oklahoma.
Surrounded by EARTH and SKY and WATER...overlooking sleepy Ft. Gibson Lake in Taylor Ferry, located outside Wagoner, Oklahoma at the foothills of Cherokee Nation...
Together, with the love of my life-soul-mate-project-partner and best friend Bradley Barkley, the d2-b2 duo have established The VENUE in Taylor Ferry.
