My first two whimsy girls that I drew as I am working to capture the happy memories of my difficult childhood. I don't have many memories and most of what I can remember is abusive so I have been praying for healing and joy in my artwork. I started writing in my art journal all of the happy things I could think of to shift my focus from the pain towards healing and new thoughts.

In a year, I will wish I had started my blog today
I want to share my work and build a community of art creative friends to share and grow in our creative journey. My hope is to have a community of like minded creative artsy people who want to explore new techniques and share creative endeavors. I have a bachelors in Fine art which did not help to build my confidence as an artist but instead was a very critical experience that left me not sure if I wanted to pursue my artwork any longer.
I did not create work for many years after receiving my degree until I realized that I was blocked as an artist and started working through The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron. Her books inspired me to take my artist self on play dates and to journal all of the fears, hope and lost dreams that I had in my heart, mind and soul about being an artist. I have new art work and inspiration because her process has helped me to unlock the creativity that God has given me. I have found new hope, dreams and goals for my work and courage to try new techniques and take risks with my personal art journey.
I am blessed to be a part of Life Book 2015 by Tam from willowing. I had so much fear about sharing my work in a large group of artists with so much amazing talent however Tam has a wonderful kindness and heart of healing that made me feel so comfortable with different forums and places to share your work that I have posted my work. Life Book has a wide variety of teachers with so many different ideas and techniques that it has brought me inspiration in times where I felt that I was empty of new ideas. I hope you will join me in my journey as an artist and that you will come be a part of the community I am building through my blog!
