New Blog!!

So here's the thing...
 I generally am not good at following thru with things. I start with the best intentions, go gung-ho, balls to the wall, then... I fizzle out. However, my YouTube channel is different. I started it a year ago and have been going strong posting several videos a week (with a few exceptions) for over a year now. I love my YouTube channel and have met some wonderful amazing people thru it.

When I started thinking about new things I wanted to do on the internet, a blog felt like the natural progression for me. Writing was my first creative love long before I ever started doing art of any kind. Words have always held so much expressive power for me. Why not have a place where my two loves (words & art) can coexist in an exciting way. 

I can't promise that it will always be just words and art. I don't know about any of you, but I get inspired by so many things on a daily basis. My mind goes in a million different directions at any given moment and I want to share that here. 

So here is my blog in all it's humble glory. Here's hoping it will be another great adventure of meeting incredibly inspiring interesting people as I make my way thru realizing my passion for words, art, and mixed media.

Painty hugs,
Jenn
