I see this blog as the next step on my journey to share and
grow through art. The words ‘pictures’
and ‘poesies’ encompass the creative outlets I love most, writing, painting and
photography. The word poesy also represents my obsession of taking flower (posy) pictures. I have always had a fascination
with writing even as a child, I would journal, write short stories and poems. Reading
was and still is one of my favorite escapes.
In 2010 I received a digital
camera as a Christmas gift and started almost immediately taking nature
pictures. From there in 2011 I began adding
text and altering my photos digitally. I
soon became aware of digital journaling. It was the interest of combining images into
journaling that brought me to art journaling and the discovery of this whole world
of Mixed Media Artists that share these same passions. Online art workshops and
blogging have made it possible to find inspiration, learn new techniques and
the chance to interact with other creative souls. In my spare time when I am not wandering
through our woods taking nature photos, reading or writing, I am working in my
art journal or on a painting.
