Thank you!

My pigeon friends are looking forward to visiting you on their next delivery round -
if you feel like leaving some seed out, the pigeons would love that!

If I were a tightrope walker (I am not a tightrope walker), I would say that balance requires awareness and presence. At least, at first. If you've learned to walk a tightrope (or ride a bike), you'll know that eventually the micro-movements requir
Humans aren't machines. Artists aren't art factories. Parents aren't child rearing robots. But often we bow to the pressure of a society that seems to think we should be. Do more, be more, get better, fit more in, set some goals, achieve them, se
It's going to come as zero surprise to you when I tell you that having a regular creative practice can help you live better. How? Aside from the mental health benefits that come with focussed creative time, it’s related to the idea that how y
Feel the fear and do it anyway? How about feel the fear and wrap it in a blanket? Read it a story? Make it a cup of tea? Take it on a little walk, and listen to its troubles? Call someone you trust, and ask them to tell both you and your fears t

For this week's art journal prompt, we're going to build a fort. Use this prompt however you wish - think about it, write about it, make art inspired by it. Or build a literal blanket fort, that might be fun, too. There are no right answers and there

This week's art journal prompt involves making a doorway from HERE to THERE... and it's too long for Instagram's writing box, so check it out on my Facebook page. Or, sign up for my weekly email and the next one will land in your inbox :) Links in
Have you spent much (or any, come to that) time thinking about doors? A door is a threshold between two places, but most of us don't really notice them, much of the time. Think about it, though. Doors are pretty amazing things. They can connect two
I thought it might be fun to offer a weekly prompt (in case you're missing Art Group). Use this however you wish - think about it, write about it, make art inspired by it. There are no right answers and there's no way to get this wrong. This week, t
