Here are a few of my recent favorite snapshots: Related PostsCreativity in Snapshots | Shabby Chic Winter Creative Snapshots | In […]

365 Collages | Week 4
The first collage, Lesson in being Crazy, is the +1 from week three. Then when the last day of week 4, Sunday, came around it was status quo, or rather -6 for the weekly goal of seven square collages! It’s easy to get behind, but the weekly goal (7 collages) helps keep me on track. […]
Life Artist by Ali Edwards – a book review
Through the photos I took, I was able to see (litterally see) how really amazing and lucky and blessed I was. Ali Edwards Even though I don’t call myself a scrapbooker I am a huge fan of Ali Edwards. We share many similar values when it comes to the importance of documenting life, everyday photography […]
The Polka Dot Oilcloth Desk
Because I am messy I use a big oilcloth to cover the desk where I make my art. I’ve had this beautiful rose patterned one for several years, but it’s beyond saving at this point, full of acrylic paint splatters. Plus, since I bought a new table last year it is about 10 centimeters to […]
Weekly Inspiration: Pattrn app + entrepreneurial t...

The Moment to Snap

Your eye must see a composition or an expression that life itself offers you, and you must know with intuition when to click the camera. That is the moment the photographer is creative. Oop! The Moment! […]

365 Collages | Week 3
You begin with the possibilities of the material. Robert Rauschenberg Last week I noticed I was finding my way back (very unintentional) to dots and circles, a theme that followed me through 2012. Right now I’m in experimental mode, trying many different things but also, indulging in my favorite colour. Pink! Hover over the image […]

Drawing Exercise: A Yellow Bird
I’ve heard it said that every day you need half an hour of quiet time for yourself, or your Self, unless you’re incredibly busy and stressed, in which case you need an hour. I promise you, it is there. Fight tooth and nail to find time, to make it. It is our true wealth, this […]
