I’m writing to you from a cabin in the woods.

I’m getting ready to make some BIG changes to my blog and website and am making sure to slow down, reassess and have patience (which can be so hard to do).

There are deer roaming between the pine trees as I listen to the rain. We went pumpkin picking yesterday, which reminded me of all of the things I adore about autumn. I’ve also been cleaning out my studio and finding mixed media drawings that have encouraged me to keep art journaling. There’s just something so free-ing and healing about making sure to play. And finding joy and inspiration in the little things.

This inspiration is being channeled into my website and blog redesign with the help of my hubby, Brian (who’s having a sale on website, ecourse and blog design and development until October 31st).

I’ve heard what you’ve been saying about wanting more videos and inspirations. And I can’t wait to share them with you! I just can’t get enough painting in my studio and playing these days!

With all of these changes, I’d love your help.

If you have a few seconds, please answer these 2 Quick Questions. And let me know what you love most about my blog and website.

I’d be delighted to hear from you! Thank YOU!

…………………….

ps. i’m having so much fun in HOW TO CREATE WHIMSICAL ANIMALS. the course will be available as a self-paced, instant-access class in november. but there’s still time to be part of the 6 Week class too.

Art Weekends & Letting Go

A few weeks ago I had an art weekend with my sister-in law. We went to the art supply store and picked up a ton of spray paint, acrylic inks and other fun supplies. Then we covered her driveway with an old table cloth and played. She had all of these sheets of sticker paper that she never knew what to do with, so we... Continue reading

Following Your Dreams & Getting Published

Why fit in when you were born to stand out? -Dr Seuss …. One of my favorite things to do is paint at the beach. It’s the desire I first blurted out to an Artist’s Way group in 2009.

12 Things That Are Inspiring Me

“Nothing is impossible, the word itself says ‘I’m possible’!” -Audrey Hepburn ………. I love to take photo walks, especially through places I have never been. I’ve gotten in the habit of taking myself on field trips where I get out of the studio and go someplace new and explore. Snapping photos in those places is so inspiring and really keeps me looking and being inspired... Continue reading

New York City

Whenever Brian and I travel, we love to walk around and explore. We prefer not to make any plans. Part of what I adore about travelling is... Continue reading
