Happy Wednesday! Here’s a taste of art for your email today, and some updates on upcoming events and workshops :-)
...
Sometimes Oftentimes, the best inspiration comes from simple things.
Lately for me that means taking walks in the evening and watching the light change through the canopy of trees.
Sometimes I take pictures, other times I try to hold images in my memory.
Titles usually come from my journal, which I try to make a practice of using every day.
