HI Penny: Oh how wonderful that this image could speak something for you. Vision boards are amazing. 🙂 🙂 And I agree, paper delights! xo

It’s so lovely. Yesterday I was tasked with creating a mood board as part of a business training….Your image was the first piece I chose. It felt serene as well as whimsical, two things that are at my core. I LOVE that you used tracing paper for the ethereal looking flowers!! I was exploring tracing paper this week too. There is so much to love about PAPER!! Thank you for sharing;)

Aliya: It sounds like you have MUCH to offer the world. I’m so happy you finished the latest project and can’t wait to hear about the next. Maybe write to that free spirited artist you once were? xo amy

I just saw your reply and it’s Oct! I finally finished my nephews graduation present. An illustration with silhouettes of him dancing in front of the Philadelphia skyline and his name. On a regular basic I just like to play. After attending design school and working in the design industry, I have an anal retentive way of doing art. Before that I was a free spirited fine artist. I also make cards and want to illustrate and write my own children’s books after illustrating a few for other people.

Hi Aliya:

Oh I just loved reading this! I’m so happy that you are able to use art with elders and that you are reclaiming your art space. I find that makes a HUGE difference, as you know! What are you working on? Journaling?

XO Amy

I now work with Seniors of all types in Activities and push Art as an activity, stress reliever and creative some thing to leave behind. Unfortunately I often get the same “I’m not Artistic” response but after showing a step by step easy creative process, the residents can see how easy, creative and fun it is. That’s exactly what you illustrate….THANK YOU for inspiring novices and professionals! As an adult working full-time not in art it is so hard to make space and time for this passion. I keep buying supplies but hardly get to use them. I recently reclaimed my drawing table for Art Only as bills, my calendar/ planner and my son’s important papers used to take it over. Other than a stash of chocolate and candy people keep giving me it is Art Only!

Hi Lee:

Oh I’m so happy to hear that you responded to this post. AND I realize by your comment that I probably ought to speak more about getting frustrated in art – I definitely have plenty of my own moments in art and in life!! I’m so happy you have the art and great support system to help you.

Cheers,
Amy
