 Living an Art-full Life

Hi, I’m Rebecca and I’m a mixed-media artist, mom, wife and lover of all things home. This blog is a way of documenting and sharing my creative journey. It's about reconciling day-to-day life’s push and pull with the constant nudging of the creative muse. I'll share art and projects for the home -- both the inspiration and the process,  and thoughts about creativity, life and all the ways they converge.
