Hello! I'm a self taught artist, and I write about my creative practice on Substack. The Artist's Almanac is a compilation of writings on the creative process, focusing on process over product. Maybe you'll find it useful! #selftaughtartist #artists #substack
In this new Substack post I explore the power of shrinking perspectives—from universe to dining room—arguing that meaning comes not from scale but from the depth of attention we give to life's smallest moments. Through art, history, and meditation, I uncover profound significance in the tiny.

🌱 Introducing Gather & Patch 🌱 A monthly Zoom space for artists & makers to connect, reflect, and explore creativity as a grounding ritual. Untangle art from productivity & rediscover its joy. Share your work or simply be inspired. Details here:
2024 was my not only my first year of writing, but also of sharing writing on #Substack. I've written a lot on art and creativity this year. In celebration of the new year, I wrote about the liberation I've found in Jester's Privilege. Read it here: patchworkprinciple.substack.com/p/jesters-pr...
I'm new here, and having a hard time finding my way. I would like to find other like minded folks to follow-especially other creatives. My interests include art history, decorative arts, folk arts, cultural critique. If this is you, say hi! #newhere #artists #folkartists
