“Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while” – Steve Jobs
One of my New Year’s resolutions is to create more with art this year. One of my obstacles in the past was not having enough room to work. I currently have a spacious studio to work from. I have all my art supplies nicely organized. I recently enrolled in several online courses with artist styles that I like. I wanted to learn more about mixed-media and art journaling. I’m very excited about the opportunity and hope I will have some of my own work to post soon.
My Art and Soul Website
This Blog is dedicated to my personal art work from the Art Workshops that I’m learning from: Willowing Arts, Cotton Candy Girls, Doll Dreams and more. I will have a dedicated page to each Instructor or Workshop that I participate in. I have a Blog a Journal page where I write to Journal Prompts that I find or anything that inspires me to write a thought. I have a “Who Am I?” Journal where I write using several resources on self discovery. I have My Artist’s Way Page based on the book The Artist Way by Julie Cameron and My Artist’s Way Toolkit.

The Path to Creativity
Three Statements to complete about yourself: “What Inspires Your Creativity?”
I often daydream about…

I’m inspired by…
My Example: I feel most creative when…
I write down my aspirations and goals. It’s the best way to start a day of artistic work. Writing sends a message to my mind saying, Creativity is important today.
