Love this Crystal! Find lots of inspiration as well as my husband and I are artistic parents hoping to pass on the creative gene…. Though I don’t think we need to worry too much as my 3.5 year old spends hours everyday drawing just about everything. I can’t even remember myself that dedicated until many years later (difference also being that I was in daycare and school early whereas she has the option to learn from home and as such much more autonomy over how she spends her time…)
Love the observation bit too - though not as many years as a teacher, I also got surprised to learn that not every on observed their surrounding in the same “observant” way. That it’s really something one can learn to open the mind to its surroundings and as such discover beauty in even the most “mundane” of things.
You inspired me to incorporate more images of my art in my hero post (thanks for the mention btw!) or perhaps I should even create a second one to pin (I think one can pin 3 pieces….?)
Thrilled to have connected on here and excited to see you grow in this space 🥰
Oh your daughter is so lucky to be at home and learning how to be in the world. I know you will honour her curiosity - one of the most important life lessons I think. So lovely that she is already drawing too. Thanks for the warm welcome here and making this feel like a community!
Thank you, I needed those words of encouragement! It’s never easy when one goes outside of the norm… but I’m grateful for the opportunity to have her at home especially as she clearly tells me it’s what she wants (for now at least!) xx
I loved hearing your upbringing! It shines through in your work (which is so beautiful by the way!!). To answer the question prompt at the bottom: artist at heart! i think most of us are. i have never been able to escape art, personally. it keeps finding me again haha.
Your artworks is very beautiful!
How long does it take to make one? 😊
Thanks for the kind words. It really varies! Some pieces when I’m in the flow are an only few hours. Some are a couple of days!

I’m so glad you’re adding more art into your pieces! 😍

Isn’t that just the way! Fantastic that ART keeps finding you.
You’ve been teaching for 25 years, but you look 25 years old….the math ain’t mathing 😁
I’ve loved getting to know you more. You can really feel your heart and your purpose.
So happy we have connected, look forward to many more wonderful pieces.
