ALL BLOGS, Art Journal

There’s something about reaching the halfway point of a project.

You’re no longer figuring things out from the beginning… but you’re also not at the end yet. You’re somewhere in between—more settled, a little more trusting of your process.

From IT to Intuitive Art: A Conversation That Reveals What You Don’t Usually See

ALL BLOGS, Creative mindset /

If you’ve been following my work for a while, you’ve mostly seen my hands — painting, layering, stitching, building pages.

But not so much my face or me talking about myself.

This conversation with Kate for the Making Zen retreat is one of those rare spaces where I sat down and shared my journey openly — not just what I do, but how I think, how I arrived here, and what truly shifted things for me.
