Welcome! This blog is intended to record my journey and musings through the creative world of art. My goal and hope is to explore ideas and techniques and push myself beyond my current comfort zone with my artwork - also, to record ideas and items that I find interesting along the way...

Welcome!
Welcome to my blog! The blog is intended to record my journey into the creative world of art. I've decided to challenge myself to work on my art every day and create at least two finished pieces each week. My goal and hope is to explore ideas and techniques and push myself beyond my current comfort zone. Any of you who wish to comment or join me while pursuing your own art interests and exploration are welcome to experience this creative journey.
