Get Creative 6 NEW YORK

Introduction Finding joy is the cornerstone of everything I do, both in my art and in my life. Joy fuels us, sustains us, holds us up when we feel that all is lost. And the true beauty of joy is that it can be found in the smallest of things. The quality of light on a crisp autumn day, the weight of your dog’s head as he lies sleeping next to you, breathing in the aroma of a cup of tea before taking the first sip.

My art lies in imagining and capturing these moments, committing them to paper so that they can bring happiness to you as you color them and read the quotes that inspired them.

I always say, there is no “right” way to color. Coloring is a way to take a breath, to break from your day and allow your creative side to come to the fore as you choose your colors and apply them to the page.

This book is all about noticing beautiful, happy moments. Relax into the joy of creating and carry that joy into your daily life. Let joy slip through the cracks, open a window to let the light in, and fill your world with color and hope.
