Thank you!

💜the piece that made me break down and sob🥺
.
Let me tell you... it was a couple years ago. I traveled to Seattle for a class with Katie Kendrick @joyouslybecoming I wanted to push myself, and Katie’s intuitive, abstract approach to mixed-media seemed the opposite of the pretty, 2D work I’d done so far.
.
So.. day 1 was fairly normal. I met some new friends ( @lorynewsomart @twozdai @jennymesserle @oritems @kathievezzani @alteredstatesstudio @marysuzannegarvey ) I worked B*I*G!! Like 36”x36” big! And I fussed at myself.
.
Then... day 2.
.
Katie decided to do a demo. She started one of her beautiful signature pieces and, as I watched her work, I was captivated!
.
At one point, towards the end of the demo, she made a gesture that connected with something deep inside me. It reminded me of my sister’s scar.
.
In a rush, I worked on this sketch of me and my little sister and the huge scar she wears as a badge of courage and triumph over cancer. I began to cry and I couldn’t hold it back.
.
(Geez, I still get teary now, going back to that memory!)
.
I stood there, crying. And I couldn’t hide what was going on, since I had chosen a spot next to the front window of the building. (Note to self- choose an easel in the back!!!) Katie came over to me and asked if she could do some reiki for me. I stood there while she worked. And it was done.
.
I’ll always remember that experience.
.
When I got home, I showed it to my sister. She immediately pointed out how I had drawn myself protectively around her. Well, of course. She’s my baby sister. 🥰
.
Not sure why I needed to share this today. But maybe someone will read this and be encouraged.
.
I thank Katie from the bottom of my heart and urge everyone to travel to an in-person art workshop at least once a year. Get out of your comfort zone and make some friends while you do! ❤️

☕️ keeping it real 😜

✨Monday✨ most people’s least favorite day of the week. We’re in that weird time of year: in-between school starting and the holidays. Does it feel like we’re waiting for the other shoe to drop?
.
What’s something you can look forward to this week?
