I have found that the best moments are often those moments in the in-between. Little amounts of time where I can be present if I choose. It is in those moments that a book slowly gets read over a month, I capture my thoughts through writing, I have the face to face conversations, I sit with my face to the sun and my feet in the grass, I truly listen to an album, I spend a few moments in the garden or I grab my sketchbook and capture what is right in front of me.

Join me at New Americana Home where I will be sharing one of the biggest creative practices I have that has made a huge impact on my art, creativity in general, pure joy in making, and being present. In this three hour workshop, I will be sharing sketchbook practices, how I quickly capture the world around me, how to create layers with watercolors, water soluble markers and pastels.

You will leave with a hand made concertina sketchbook, lots of sketches and watercolor works of florals.
