Where I've been all this time
It's been over two years since I last posted on Substack, here's a little of why
The last couple of years have been abundant with sad things—as well as joy.
My parents passed away within eight months of each other, soon followed by my Studio Dog, Mory. This season of life has been about grief, recovering, and restoring.
Thankfully, painting and writing about joy sustained me—giving me purpose and a place to reflect. Having a Joy Practice made it possible for me to keep going and with each post, I’ll share with you stories from my life as a professional artist and how they relate to joy.
I’m returning to Substack to share my Joy Practice with you—weekly insights into what joy is, how to find it, and why we all deserve it. Paid subscribers will get a Joy Practice to try on their own, based on what I learned from the week (including this post). If that sounds fun or helpful to you, I hope you’ll subscribe.
