June 2025 - Creation With Dana

Coming soon on YouTube @WeReturn… Classic and Contemporary pieces; Interviews and Local spotlights. Hearing some new works and revisiting some cozy old favorites. Head over to YouTube on June 18th (EST time tbd) for the premier episode of Poetry Hour, with the first in house guest. Jess Duger aka The Rainbow Creatrix Here is a sneak peek of some stills from the interview with Poetry Hour’s first guest, Jess Duger, aka “The Rainbow Creatrix“. Jess visits to discuss life, her work, inspirations, processes, favorite authors, and to share a few of her own pieces as well!! You can find her on social media (facebook and instagram) as The Rainbow Creatrix, where she shares the colorful and captivating magic of not only her poetry, perspective, and photography, but her incredible artistic painting talents as well- both with a canvas, and the human body. Jess is a majorly talented, Renowned, NNY Face and Body Artist. She is a most lovely, bright, and kind individual, who truly finds endless ways to channel and funnel and aim the gifts of her wisdom and exquisite creativity…and I think you may be as glad as I am that she shares as much as she does. Please…
