We had a great conversation in the studio yesterday about whether or not to finish every creative endeavor we start if results start heading south or the piece becomes too frustrating.

I borrowed my title from a great quote that I scrolled upon this week.

What is holding you back from reaching your creative goals this year?

Every new year brings a new desire to do things better than all of the previous years.

Connection can heal and make us stronger. Art helps us grow.

The tree is such a pure symbol of Christmas representing light to the world.

When you stop to think about it, the word "grateful" holds so much.

It was almost as if life began for me in 8th grade Advanced Art.

As an artist or creative, focus can be a challenge.

Planning a festive holiday event may be the easiest and most fun.

Today is the day, before the serious holiday crunch sets in, before everyone's calendar fills up for weeks on end.

There is no shortage of reasons to gather with friends and family and there is never a better time than, well, now.

I think my favorite hashtag out of all of the ones I use on social media posts is #familiesthatcreatetogetherstaytogether.

If only we could spend all of our days at the beach or painting watercolors by the Seine or Kenai rivers.

Pablo Picasso said, "Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working.”

Trust the process. I wish I had a nickel for ever time I say that during a class or party in the studio.

Practicing “Mis en Place” (French for “Putting in Place”) is employed by culinary artists and is a wonderful tool for all creative processes.
