an invitation to pay attention

to notice everyday glimmers of magic

to grab your art supplies and create without fear

to savor life’s simple joys

I loved making art when I was a child, but as I grew up I “learned” I wasn’t good at it.

As an adult I felt something was missing from my life and set out to reclaim my creativity.

I taught myself how to paint, but I also followed the lead of my kindergarten self and began to believe, again, in the giant strawberries she was able to effortlessly conjure.
