As a very young child I discovered sketching and drawing. Whenever my mother was tired of having me underfoot she would seat me at the large, oak dining table with paper, crayons and pencils and say “Why don’t you take some time and draw something for me?”. What a blessing that was! I don’t think she realized the true gift of discovery she had bestowed upon me. I have seen life through an artist’s viewpoint ever since.
You can too! Regardless of your age, you already have the skills wired into your human psyche. So many people though, never learn to tap into them or even realize they possess them. So, through Mini-Workshops, Social Media and this blog, I share that revelation by setting an example and by helping people tap into the wonderful, satisfying and mindful world of observing life through an artist’s eye.
I hope you tap in, whether through my help or the many other resources available online and in books. It is a part of yourself you will enjoy cultivating as you journey through life.
