Art Grab

Welcome October! I want to have a little fun this month, in honor of my birthday, I decided to give away some of my art.. I will be placing random creations in the open throughout Philadelphia, all ripe for the grab. Dates and picture clues will be announced on social media..

Blocks tumble

The process of cleaning and organizing my art space helped to unearth inspiration from previously created drawings. The dust cleared and the wheels began to turn, and the urge to work on multiple projects began. My creative blocks tumbled and crumbled in an instant…. I envision more cleaning in my future!

Days shift to nights

we try to hide

we blanket our fears

we are exposed

we wake

we begin to see clearly

The page is my friend

I try to uphold to a morning routine by carving out time for myself before the hectic throws of the day. My commitment to writing three long hand pages (morning pages) began many years ago when I read the book, The Artist Way, by Julia Cameron. The routine of writing everyday clears the mind, relieves stress and allows you to tap into your well of creativity on a regular basis.  My writing this morning inspired this doodle.
