My Beginning...

Welcome to my first post! I've been procrastinating starting this blog because the word "artist" attached to my name is very new to me - I have only been creating my visual art since mid-November 2006, when I decided to create a memory book for my Aunt Anne's 90th birthday. The rest, as they say, is history. I created collage pages for that book, and then had them made into "moo" cards. In future blogs I will share some of my projects as I progressed from these humble scrapbook pages to handmade journals and acrylic paintings and more! These are the collage pages that were my very first attempt at all this - November 2006!

What FUN you are going to have on this artful journey. Since you are already a creativity coach, you may not run into some of the stumbling blocks that can happen along the way. You may have to be your best student!! Enjoy the creative process and don't look back. You are well on your way and I hope your aunt loved her book!
