Art Journals

It all began with a simple idea, create something  more often! My revelation started with 2024. Create art as often as I can, filling a journal with new ideas for larger pieces, for doodling & specifically as a therapeutic method. In this mixed media paper Canson spiral bound notebook I chose at Michael's, I covered the front cover in collaged magazine pieces & acrylic marker. I had hoped to create a small art piece in this journal each day, but ended up working in it as time would allow.  I found a great deal of peace starting this habit. I came up with some interesting techniques/ practices using watercolor, magazine clippings, textured paper, various  scrapbook papers, fabric pieces, origami paper, tissue paper, pen & ink, color pencil, markers, oil pastel, crayon, & graphite. I learned more about myself through this journey.  Please enjoy all 57 pieces completed in 2024. 

Stay tuned for 2025!
