Connie Hozvicka introduced me to art journaling when I attended her Dirty Footprints Studio Creative Dig workshop in Cleveland in 2009. It was a powerful experience and I fell in love with art journaling that weekend.
Since then art journaling has become a way for me to relax, to express myself, a way to lose myself in the process of creating, to explore ideas, to explore the past, the present and the future and it has become a new to self-discovery.
The more I art journal, the more I want to know. I want to know more about the techniques, the processes, and the benefits. I want to know more about myself.
One of my themes for 2012 is ‘going deeper’ and one area I want to go deeper and explore is art journaling.
To honor and celebrate ‘going deeper’ and my commitment to and passion for art journaling I recently registered for 21 Secrets: An Art Journal Playground hosted by the inspiring Connie and Dirty Footprints Studio! 21 Artists/Teachers, 21 Art Journaling Secrets. I can’t wait!!

Yup. I’m taking it, too. I’m also taking Mary Anny Moss’s Full Tilt Boogie class (my favorite Christmas present) and I’m looking at Kelly Kilmer’s Revel in the Moment. Whew! Hard to fit them all in.
