What it is
There are two things in my life that have been constant, no matter what: art and the need for unstructured time to play.
I am a compulsive maker-of-things who believes that every day must have some time set aside to feed the creative spirit. This would include making art, looking at art, reading about art, experimenting/playing with materials, learning new skills, and general studio art-play.
To support my habit and spread the joy, I was an art educator for 38 years. I'm now retired from public education, but still enjoy teaching occasional workshops locally.
I will try to share some of my adventures in both art and play here in this space.

Beautiful pages! I love the colors and the movement in these pages.
Thank you!
I originally saw your work in "Art Journal Kickstarter". I had to check out your blog. I love absolutely love every single one of your journal pages and would love to learn your secrets. DI'd you write any instruction books? If so, I'd love to know what they are. Thank you for your contribution to making the world a better place. :)
Hi Kim,
Thanks for you lovely comments !
I do not have any instructions published... Art Journal Kickstarter was my first time being published.
There are a lot of great instructional videos available on YouTube and other art sites... I would encourage you to watch the ones you like and then adapt the methods to your own liking. Explore and experiment, and most of all, enjoy the process.
It's always so nice to hear that art journaling has found a creative audience.
Best wishes to you and hope you have fun with your own art journals !
