I am working on a new journal series to connect with my book Drawn Together- Maintaining Connections and Navigating Life’s Challenges With Art.

I am a great believer in sharing my creative process!  That is how Drawn Together was created in the first place- through journals and blogposts.

As I build the journal series, I will be sharing my notes and process here and welcome your feedback and your photos!   Your contribution is invaluable and may find its way to my book! Contact me at Email.

 Part 1: INSPECTION/PRESENT DAY

Part 2a: INSPECTION/HISTORY: ROOTS

Part 2b: INSPECTION/HISTORY: PHOTOS

All things must come to the soul from its roots, from where it is planted.
Saint Teresa of Avila

Collect and immerse yourself in photos/images that reflect your roots.  The images need not be your actual roots.  They can be images that allow you to reflect on your past, on your ancestors.

Enjoy savouring what the photos do for you.  Just let them be with you.  Feel how the exercise makes you extend your connections into the past and thus, into your future.
