We are all adventurous souls.

Yes, you reading this, so are you. 

My joy comes from you connecting to yours – whether that’s making something with your own hands, traveling to Paris for a week of macarons and Montmartre, or being a tourist in your own town.  This is a place to reignite your creativity (or find it for the first time!), to chronicle your adventures, and explore the creative, wanderlust life that suits you best.

About Me

Bonjour, felicitations, hello, and welcome!

I’m Tammy. I teach travel art journaling to takers of journeys and finders of treasures who want to capture memories in a bespoke, keepsake artist book.

In 2022 I turned 60…one of those milestone birthdays.  That same year, I traveled to Paris for the first time since I was 21 years old.  It was an amazing, joy-full, and life-changing trip.  I played the part of an adventurer and instinctively set about my mission to document and observe my trip to Paris as if I’d never traveled before.  I took notes.  I collected things along my way throughout my days in Paris.  I documented my findings in the biggest, juiciest, most beautiful travel journal to date.  I noticed patterns in the wallpaper and tiles of the pied a terre I rented in Montmartre and copied them into my journal.  I traced typography from a women’s magazine advertisement from 1896.  I focused on just one thing at a time. I recorded only what I was drawn to in those moments.

I came home wanting to keep that “Paris feeling” alive.  That feeling of exploration, of discovery, of living in the moment.  It’s tricky, life is crazy, things pull me one way and another.  But in those quiet moments before dawn or in my studio on a rainy Sunday afternoon, I remember those days in Paris, and that feeling of being fully present.

Do you feel that same pull?  Do you long to reconnect with your muse, visit a bucket list destination?  I hope you’ll join me - online here, in one of my local workshops, at one of my upcoming art walk retreat destinations, or simply by leaving a comment on one of my blog posts.   

Ready for a little armchair travel?  Awesome!
