Michaela Freeman: Personal Site and Projects: Gardening

http://www.michaela-freeman.com/2013/04/gardening-family-garden.html

Gardening for me is part dream and part reality. I’ve lived in five homes, always starting or maintaining a garden that was never mine. After we moved back to Prague, my focus shifted back to my parents’ cottage garden. The Garden of Bohemia. When I was five year old, my parents bought a small lot on a hillside near the city of Litoměřice, the city that annually hosts the Garden of Bohemia. Scrub, a few very old fruitless apricot and pear trees, blackthorn, some mulberry and a lot of rosehip. For tho...

Michaela Freeman: Personal Site and Projects: Translations CZ<>EN

http://www.michaela-freeman.com/2013/04/czech-to-english-translations-creative.html

Since 1997, I’ve worked as a freelance translator from English to Czech and Czech to English. Because I have the added benefit of having a native English-speaker editor and writer. At home as my husband, we focus on translations into English. I must say I really like translating and I think it will always be part of my life. These texts must appeal to a particular audience and, at the same time, sound natural and fluid:. Texts for websites or print materials. Such as product and service descriptions),.

Michaela Freeman: Personal Site and Projects: DoMa / at HoME Theater

http://www.michaela-freeman.com/2013/04/DoMa-at-HoME-theater-performance.html

DoMa / at HoME Theater. In the summer of 2010, I had the honor to collaborate with an English-speaking theater group, HoME. That creates and performs ‘site-specific theater’. In Prague. As the name implies, they perform in people’s homes. In this case, they temporarily took over my studio at Gallery Hunger. And my roommate’s adjacent spaces in a performance simply called Hunger. The performance was then recreated for three nights at the Alfréd ve dvoře. In alternative theatre in the Czech Republic in 2006.

http://www.michaela-freeman.com/2013/04/service-dogs-assistance-dogs-czech.html

Assistance Dogs (Helping Paws n.g.o.). We received no encouragement at home in the Czech Republic, though. Everyone told us we were nuts, that we didn't have a prayer of getting sponsors, that Czech disabled people would be unwilling to go through the necessary training and tests. Despite all that, we began a Pilot Project, training our first five dogs to prove that it could be done. Pomocné tlapky o.p.s. (Helping Paws n.g.o.). Making It Happen, Making a Difference. Thanks to her fundraising efforts, Hel...

Creative and Copy Writing. In my 20’s, I switched my creative tool-box and began writing in English. That too ended up in trash, but the English language opened many horizons for me and this was yet another one. I also able do my book-research in English, with a far wider and deeper pool of information. The Iridescent Quill Blog. The Artist's Way Coaching. Creative and Copy Writing.

Michaela Freeman: Personal Site and Projects: Creativity Courses - Artist's Way

http://www.michaela-freeman.com/2013/01/creativity-courses-artists-way.html

Creativity Courses - Artist's Way. I didn’t come up with this concept. Artist’s Way is a tried-and-true method compiled into a bestselling book by Julia Cameron. It so significantly shaped my own creative path that, together with my project partner Jaroslava Vatay, we decided to run courses based on this book, but including our own methods for developing intuition, gaining inspiration and overcoming old blocks. It doesn't come easy. To unblock creativity, we need to first dig into some of the old sol...

http://www.michaela-freeman.com/2013/04/testimony-of-the-soul-flowers-poems.html

Testimony of the Soul. A Book of Poems and Flowers. In 2010, my flower scans inspired Czech poet Jan Maruna to write a collection of poems. I selected 40 of my scans of iconic flowers, such as rose, tulip, iris, but also forget-me-nots and clover. Jan wrote a short poem for each. The resulting volume was published by Tribun EU in a small edition. Jan was born in 1949 and lives and writes in Hlinice, near Tábor, Czech Republic. Thus far he has published the following works:. Coexistence on the Edge. Publi...

Michaela Freeman: Personal Site and Projects: My Animals

http://www.michaela-freeman.com/2013/04/animals-pets-cats-dogs.html

Animals play a very important role in my life, both personally and professionally. So here are the icons of my life, the best friends of all…. The ultimate and unforgettable pet of my life was a black Labrador named Barkley. Here is his little page at his breeder's website. We first had a cat named Ciciolina. Who disappeared in the woods near our house in the mountains after a few years with us. We then got two kittens from a pound, possibly sisters. We named them Google. Then we had a cat named Emma.
