The 3rd layer of a wall mural of marble
I’m learning that when I do art every day, my life is much more satisfying. My day job this week is to paint a mural for a Reiki healer here in Madison Rene Christesen in her studio, facebook.com/ChannelsReiki. One of the most satisfy parts of being an artist is trading with other people. I need energy sessions and she wanted a piece of really cool art.
Now for the lettering.
Detail.
I haven’t done faux marble in a while and I had a great time hanging out with the gals. Before I went to work I had a few minutes waiting in my car and I was ready with my mini sketch pad. So my create a day project was this. . .
Time went by really quickly as I doodled.
I didn’t mind waiting at all and I didn’t even pick up my phone. I connected with my creative side which is so much more satisfying. The sketchbook is really small & fits in my purse. Armed with that and a pen sitting with myself was great. This has been a really great week because I’ve put my focus on making stuff every day.
I’ve even found I haven’t eaten as much because my hands & attention is focused on my doodles in the evening. Art helps in so many different ways so CREATE EVERY DAY!

I grew up around art and my creative spirit has been nurtured throughout my life. I have always found arts & crafts to be fun, relaxing, and fulfilling.
I stumbled into making beaded jewelry in my 20's and I still love playing with beads. I’ve worked in two bead stores, taught jewelry classes for 8 years, and my jewelry has been in many galleries. I am a guest artist at the Fall Art Tour in Sauk County.
I used an altered book to rediscover who I am and the path I wanted to take when I though all was lost. I found that in fact, all was found and I returned to college to pursue the dream that was inside me—just waiting to be realized.
I am a graduate of Edgewood College with a BS in Art Therapy and minors in Art & Psychology. While in school I continued to work with people from all walks of life and abilities. I have such a great time working with people who are finding that they do beautiful work.
This lead me to continue my passion of sharing the fun, joy, and self discovery that art brings. I have drawn from my life experiences to create classes that are designed to focus on the fun that art brings.
