The Artful Voyager
Cultivating Creativity
For as long as I can remember curiosity and creativity have been my companions. I love the hows and whys of things, especially when creativity is involved.
I find most people live artfully, whether they know it or not and to bear witness lends itself to possibilities of connectedness.
This is my account and journey of self-discovery and healing through art, creativity, and curiosity.
Living artfully is noticing the small things that bring joy and enrichment to daily life.
Being curious is the best way to cultivate your creative journey.
Living Artfully by definition is to live with a sense of intention, meaning, and purpose.
Welcome to the field study of my creative journey and the journey of others through my lens.
A collection of Artful Living adventures with a little self-discovery along the way.
Rear View Mirror
This series of 5 artworks is a breakthrough series. Standing on the edge with inspiration. Inspiration always leaps; she is fearless and has no bones. We, on the other hand, do, if we leap, will we survive? Most likely this is a metaphor, but sometimes in our creative adventures, it takes a lot of courage to paint emotions with reckless abandon. To show ourselves in living color laid out for criticism. Inspiration is the most seductive of energies; she doesn’t care about being good; she simply wants to be released and explored.

How do we feel and explore color? I, myself, love to mix color, and feel color. It evokes emotion and can energize and calm us.
