Dwell, transition and evolve
A few pixels and splashes of paint can go a long way
Just as the seasons change, we, too, are shaped by what we choose to hold onto and what we let go of. Some of these are intentional choices, shaping our experiences for the better, but often, life hands us changes beyond our control—challenges that alter our path and lead us into new territory, ready or not.
Life moves fast, and as a memory keeper, documenting my story through art allows me to slow down and reflect. It’s a rare space where I can pause and dwell in the moment, even when so much feels out of my control.
While I can’t dictate life’s pace or its twists and turns, I can choose to pause, reflect, and create something that captures my feelings visually. The process itself allows clarity to emerge, helping me see the beauty in the journey I’m being led on.

These moments of reflection during my creative time help me to put things into perspective and give me time to put my thoughts in order.
Do you do a lot of thinking during your creative time and feel it’s a meditative experience? Let me know in the comments . . .
As we step into the Autumn, the ever changing landscape around me encourages me to slow down a little and be thankful for where I’m at, where I’ve come from and to accept that some change is inevitable.
Here are some other pieces of artistry and memory keeping from the team and I themed around dwelling, transitioning and evolving that will maybe inspire you, ready for the next time you have an opportunity to create yourself.
