Creating Matters

Welcome

Creating matters in all that we do every day. How we express ourselves, how we engage with others, and how we find joy in life are all creative acts. Our creative spirit is most alive when we are both mindful of the present moment and grateful for the activity at hand. This might be the creative act of community service, gardening, cooking, playing a musical instrument, art making… this list goes on. What’s important is realizing that we are each creative in our own way.

My wish is to inspire you to reflect upon and celebrate your creative spirit. I’ll share some thoughts on my own creative journey along with examples of my recent artwork.

I also want to find ways to support my local community by integrating my interest in creativity with training I recently completed as an end-of-life doula. While creative expression is important throughout one’s lifetime, when we approach the end of our life we can exercise that creativity in new and meaningful ways.
