The creation of this blog…

Welcome to The Art of Noticing!

My hope in creating this blog is to have a place where I can connect with people from all walks of life—whether you’re an artist, someone who simply appreciates creativity, or someone who enjoys slowing down long enough to notice the beauty around them. This is where I’ll share the thoughts, moments, and experiences that shape my creativity. Some posts may be about art, while others may simply be about life, nature, or the quiet moments that remind us to see the world a little differently. I don’t have all the answers, but I hope these reflections encourage you to slow down, notice the beauty that often goes unseen, and perhaps leave feeling inspired to create something of your own.

It can be a place where I can:

• Share ideas,

• Random thoughts to get to know me as an artist and a person,

• Thoughts after being in nature,

• Moments I felt inspired to create,

• When I have eye opening experiences that fuel me,

• Questions that make us see things differently,

• Little moments that invite us to slow down and appreciate the beauty around us,

• Favorite books, artists, shows or movies,

• Why a commission meant so much,

• Lessons from teaching art groups or struggles I had,

• Stories behind each piece I create,

• and so much more.
