Creating art with others is a deeply enriching experience that fosters connection, collaboration, and inspiration. When individuals come together to make art, they bring diverse perspectives, skills, and ideas to the table, resulting in a melting pot of creativity. Collaborative art projects not only promote teamwork and communication but also offer a platform for mutual learning and growth. Moreover, the act of creating art with others cultivates a sense of community and belonging, as participants bond over shared passions and develop a deeper appreciation for each other's unique talents.

This past Sunday I hosted my first open studio of 2024 and enjoyed time spent with several other creatives. We had several different types of projects happening simultaneously, such as watercolor painting and zine creation as well as swatching watercolor markers. The conversation flowed, whoopie pies and cookies were enjoyed and we had a most splendid time working on various projects during our time together.

What a great way to spend a couple of hours on a Sunday afternoon!
