Tiny Adventures

Years ago I started working on tiny pieces of paper to relieve some pressure on me as I practiced my drawing skills. I found that if I worked on tiny pieces of paper I was more willing to try and I did not notice my mistakes as much.

I would cut little squares and keep them in a pocket in my purse and when I was travelling, at an appointment, sitting in the yard or just watching a movie with my husband on the couch I would have tiny opportunities to sketch.

I started sketching the scenes in front of me. I plate of food, a flower, a book, a cup of tea. I was surprised how my skills grew from those little scenes.

Over a year ago, I decided to create a journal that could go with me anywhere. I fell head over heels in love with it. I could create six journals in no time at all. I made them so little that they could fit in a purse or your pocket. Ever since I have not left home without one.

When I was thinking of what my first class would be it seemed to me that this process and journal would be the perfect first class. I knew journal and process so well and it would not be forced.

If you haven’t signed up for Tiny Adventures you can do that here.

Creativity has always been a large part of my life. I believe that everyone is a creative, some people just have not discovered their passion yet. My goal is to share the message, “Go Forth and Create!”

Mixed media is my love. I thrive on the freedom of working in any medium I want and combining watercolor, ink, acrylics, fabrics-everything is fair game.

Living in Alaska, I am surrounded by beauty. I find the scenery and the people equally inspiring. the world is endlessly providing inspiration and my mission is to take full advantage. My favorites include color, nature, family, books, people and so much more.
