Tikva values a holistic approach to creative living, as both a student and teacher, highlighting intuition, creative courage, and mindfully living into dreams step-by-step.

"What a joy to be guided by Tikva in a creative practice of trusting the unknown and experimenting with art-making from a place of play. Tikva energizes a room with her attitude of openness and acceptance and supports discovery through her gentle invitation to allow imagination to flow freely. " - Natalie C.

"Bearing witness to Tikva's brilliant, artistic mind is a privilege. Her writing is like a symphony. Her words encourage a soft vulnerability in all who get to hear them. Living a creative life seems to be like breathing air for Tikva. Because of this, she has a way of inspiring the people who meet her to remember their own inner artist with grace and freedom from judgment. She is a gift!" - Christina S.

"If you want to be a better creative, be around people that inspire you. This is what comes to mind when I think about Tikva, who has been inspiring me for 35 years. To be around her is to constantly be creating – whether with words, actions, paint, soap, sticks, music, or bodies – the things we've created could fill a stadium, and yet it's never enough. My relationship with Tikva paved the way for me to become a creative for my career. My creativity makes me a better partner and a better parent, and the heart of my creativity was built in those formative years alongside Tikva, who was always an ally in weirdness. She is the definition of authenticity. Everything she touches turns to art, including the people around her." - Caroline P.
