The Art of Joy
Where creativity, clarity, and meaningful work meet.
Every other Thursday, a letter lands in your inbox — stories, reflections, and creative sparks that invite you to slow down and notice what matters.
What arrives in your inbox
The Art of Joy is my personal creative letter, delivered every other Thursday.
What arrives
Some weeks it's a realization.
Sometimes it's simply something worth noticing.
Every issue centers on a story.
You'll also find what's current, things worth sharing, and occasionally a creative invitation or a glimpse into the studio.
Biweekly. Thoughtful. Unhurried.
“Love this newsletter, such a beautiful reflection of who you are and what you care about!
Thanks for sharing and I look forward to the next one!”
— Kim N.“I’m sad when I get to the end because I always hope there is more.
Sometimes it’s a quote that speaks to my heart, or plans you are doing with the girls that I can do with my grand kids. I’m not artsy but I feel artsy when I read your newsletter.
— Jerrianne“I keep reading because I find your newsletters very authentic, honest and relevant (to myself).
I have no trouble unsubscribing if something isn't a right fit for me. There are a few e-newsletters I look forward to when I see a new one that pops into my inbox and yours is one of them.”
— Sara B.“I love reading your newsletters …I think it's a combination of them being so visually appealing and calming, and definitely your writing.
But most of all -- I love how they help me get to know you. And in the process, I find so many threads that I feel like are similar to my own experience. You also inspire me to try things you are trying. I always look forward to reading!”
— Emily J.A look inside
