Visual Journaling

it's keeping me alive. i'm taking a class offered by my work and taught by a wonderful photograper/artist named Evah Hart. She's an amazing person and this is the second time i've taken her class. it's been a constant challenge to balance art, motherhood, work. But when i sit down to create something and it doesn't matter what happens just something, putting pen to paper, putting paint somewhere, cutting pasting...it acts as a lifeline to art making. because i feel it's so important to create every day and so challenging the small tasks that we work on in the class are so perfect for my daily life. i'm already sketching so much daily on the bus and now the class and working on the journaling when i can and the life drawing once a week and the project i want to create. things seems to be in a very creative place right now...and interestingly enough..i seem to be happier than ever before. hmmmm.
