creating art from your life

Look around you, what do you see?

Some people see unique gifts created from the leftovers of typical household items. While someone else might see an every day afternoon as a beautiful image to capture in a photo. Others still might  see a envision a warmth surrounding the room their in and they visualize adding one final touch to finish the room off.

There is art all around us all the time, sometimes we just need to be reminded to stop and notice. The buildings we visit are architecture – a structural art. Our clothing is fashion design.. even when it comes from Walmart. Our dishes, our furniture, our bedding, even our soap dishes… someone designed them all, and so can we!

Maybe you aren’t an artist, maybe you have just a small creative interest and just want to make gifts for friends. Or maybe you’ve always wanted to learn to paint or knit or sculpt. Maybe you know you are artistic or maybe you think you haven’t a single ounce of creativity. Regardless of your view about your artistic abilities,  this site will be able to offer you insight and hopefully a little motivation to add more art to your life. Just noticing the art around you is a big step in the right direction!

Everyone has a creative side, it just doesn’t always come in the form of a traditional art. Mechanics have a talent for building with machinery while engineers have a talent for designing plans and solutions. Further still, doctors have a talent for healing our bodies and keeping them whole… this all takes a creative edge and problem solving.- these are all forms of creation. Creativity is having the ability or power to create.

You are living every day, so why not recognize the beauty you create around you… it’s your own personal art.
