drawing from nature; the act of using (nature) as reference while drawing.

in 2015, I created an assignment for my high school studio art students. we all made “artist instagram” accounts to share and follow each others’ daily creative processes, an assignment and habit I was looking to cultivate in not only my students, but also myself.

modeling my expectations for students, I started sharing and making a commitment to my sketchbook & creativity as well. since then, I’ve continued to be amazed by the opportunities my sketchbook pages have brought me, from landscapes viewed to new relationships & creative collaborations - to live a creative life is something to be thankful for everyday.
