Retrospect and Forward

 My creative journey has taken me a long way. I’ve been on path “creative”my whole life but in recent years I have established a beautiful bright studio space; a place where i can play and create and grow, with everything I need at hand and a space big enough to share regularly with a few like-minded souls. 

Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to develop strong relationships with trusted artists who offer support, encouragement and critical thinking. Some I’ve known through most of my adult life and other relationships have only begun to grow. 

I’m grateful for all of these privileges. 

The idea of writing a blog, is perhaps outdated. However I’m hoping it will be a good place to share some insights and images from my creative path. 

The journey begins in my childhood, as most people’s do, but I won’t go back that far! 

We’ll begin in the calligraphic chapter, 1984 - 2008 - I’ll be brief!
