Hey there! I haven't posted in a while & decided I'd like to post something nature inspired in light of the beautiful summer breeze this evening...
Upon reading one of my favorite clothing company's (
Free People) blogs, I discovered some nature inspired art that I thought was pretty inventive & wanted to share...
The project is called 'Little Drifters' and was organized by a company called
booooooom & the Vancouver Sun. Participants were asked to gather pieces of driftwood, twigs, leaves, berries, dandelions, pine cones, feathers - pretty much anything that can be considered 'natural' - and build a little boat using only these materials! They were than asked to take their boat to a body of water & take a picture of it. I find them wonderfully creative & fun to view - each one has its own individual personality. I love the idea!
I actually already grab little pieces of nature here and there that inspire me. Whether it be seashells from the ocean to turn into jewelry that I wear, driftwood from the sand to use in decorative arrangements, or flowers from my garden to wear in my hair, nature has and always will play a strong presence in my inspiration for art. It is my root, my essence, & I study it not only to draw inspiration to create, but to draw answers for life.
Enjoy some of the photos below: (P.S. Here's a link to

Hello Lovelies,
I wanted to share with you one of the newest paintings I've created inspired by my love for the sea, seaweed, the ocean, love, and seashells. I went down to the ocean last weekend and drew this whimsical image...I than colorized it in the computer and added texture with special paper. Once finished, it reminded me of a quote I had always known & loved; "May your joys be as deep as the ocean, your sorrows as light as its foam". To the right of it are pictures I took of the sea and my environment that day....you could look at them as inspiration...The is one of many paintings I am creating for a larger frame I am giving to my sister to remind her of home while she is in Germany...I will be sharing the rest of them with you in additional blog posts...
Love & light and thank you for reading!

Hello All...
here's a excerpt of a short story I am writing I thought I'd share with ya'll :) Enjoy!:
we looked at the moon that night...it was bright, glowing, luminescent & filled your entire body with a deep and peaceful energy...A breath, warmth, a smile, a gaze....the aura in the sky seemed more blue that night, but glowed with intense brightness....the stars lit up the skymoments between us seemed slow...like honey, and it was as if everything else in the world had stopped....and it was only us in that moment in time...exchanging divine energy...that flowed from soul to soul with such ease..it was as if these souls had interacted before in such an embrace...there was a great deep love between the two...a spark of infinite light that neither of them could deny....
Hello All,
Over the past weekend I was inspired to create....my whirlwind of emotions of uncertainty inspired me to create this whimsical tree that is wrapping it's branches around the moon...The title of the artwork will be called "For Love of the Moon"....I am going to be scanning it in and colorizing it in the computer....I will also than make a mirror image of the tree....and do the same thing...but with the sun.....
I love being inspired by nature and my emotions... :)
love & light,
T.D.G.
