My Art Journals Featured in What Women Create Magazine

In the summer of 2024, my studio was featured in the summer issue of Where Women Create, a moment that felt both surreal and deeply meaningful to me.

Seeing the space where so much of my creative life unfolds reflected back through the pages of a magazine I’ve long admired was something I never quite expected. It felt like a quiet acknowledgment of the years spent gathering materials, making journals, and following the threads of curiosity that have shaped my work.

Recently, I had the honor of appearing again — this time in the December 2025 issue of What Women Create.

In this second feature, the focus shifts from my studio to the heart of my creative practice: my art journals.

The article explores the relationship between my art-making and the body of work I now call The Soulful Journey. For a long time, I believed these two parts of my life existed separately. My guiding work felt purposeful and structured, while my art journals were playful and personal — something I created simply for the joy of making.

But over time I began to see that they were never separate at all.

Every layered journal page, every torn scrap of paper, every mark of paint was part of the same unfolding. My art and my guiding work weren’t parallel paths; they were threads woven into the same tapestry.

Art has always been the place where I hear my truths before I have words for them.

Often, when I sit down at my studio table with paper and paint, something begins to surface quietly — a color that feels like home, a texture that holds a memory, a phrase that eventually becomes a Soul Truth.

The journals become a space where those truths can emerge slowly, without pressure or explanation.

That is what this article explores so beautifully: the way art and story meet on the page.

I’m deeply grateful to the editors for inviting me to share this work, and for creating publications that celebrate the creative lives of women in such thoughtful ways.

And if you’re someone who has been feeling the quiet pull to create — even if you don’t yet have words for what wants to emerge — I hope this glimpse into my own process offers a small bit of encouragement.

Sometimes the truest things we discover about ourselves arrive not through explanation, but through color, paper, and the simple act of making.
