I love my journals.  They chronicle my art journey.  Sometimes I use them to work out ideas, with sketches and notes, and trials of techniques and a playground of discovery.  Sometimes I use them to collect evidence of a work-in-progess with paint strokes of color, collage clippings, and remnants of materials or supplies used.  There are also times I just want to focus on a theme and make a self-contained journal with a recurring motif.  I have big ones, little ones, some finished, some incomplete.  I believe keeping a visual journal is a vital part of my artistic process.

    I love your work, but I particularly enjoy the journals. Seeing YOUR journals make me want to journal but then I don’t because I love the look of your’s so much and I don’t have a direction of my own.
    What I really need is a 3 to 5 day workshop with you!
    HUGS,
