About Me
- The Reflective Journey
- Throughout my life, I have pursued various forms of creative expression: painting, illustration, designing ways of teaching that use the arts as the learning vehicle, and writing. Most of the small oil paintings on this blog have been inspired by my own personal journal. I look upon my life as a reflective journey, and record it with images and words. ‘The Reflective Journey’ is the name of a workshop I created and teach; it is a place where we explore various ways to document both the inner and outer journey through drawing, painting and the written word; developing an expanded awareness of all the senses, enhancing the memory and enriching all life experiences. I can look at the pages of my journals, at the little sketches and paintings, and the words I wrote with them, and in that moment, I can be transported back to the time and place that I created them.

These are all so stunning. The workshop sounds amazing, I'd love to do that some time. Do you take photos of these people and have them pose for you? How do you get those perfect shots?
I think what I paint is closely related to journaling, because I just notice what's going on around me and capture it if it strikes me as something I would want to see again. Color notes and gesture sketches are very important. I don't mean literal color notes, I will just write about the color to remind myself. The gesture drawing is like a journal entry where you don't have time to capture the whole thing, but just the essence of it. Just a few strokes followed by a few more if you have time, and so on. Thank you for your comments Katherine.
