stART Episode 85: Go BIG, Go LOTS, Go SISTERS!

Every couple of weeks I film stART: Creating as We Go with my two sisters, Suzie and Shannon. We share our creative projects, from challenges to celebrations, and support each other’s creative lives. In this episode we chat about art classes, creative projects, breakthroughs and breaks, as well as diving full-on into our creative hearts.

Summer is coming to a close but we have been keeping busy with numerous projects big and small. Shannon is contemplating embarking on a big project, Suzie shares artwork and photos for her book and Jamie reads us some found poetry. We dive in deep to lots of projects and so much more!
