I call my business “The Illustrated Life” because I carry a little watercolor book with a fine-tipped ink pen in my pocket, and whip them both out when something strikes my fancy: beauty, whimsy, the backs off people’s heads in a concert or a meeting, or a space with challenging angles (buildings and interiors) and strong colors. (the deep orange/red of “Inga’s Room” in this year’s calendar is my favorite color.  I am both dog and butterfly - one drools, the other flits about.  Contradictory, n”est-ce pas? I draw small, but I love all my drawings.  They make me happy and more expansive. As someone who has journaled most of her life, it has also taken a long time for me tl move to drawing as my primary way of communication.  but drawing is so different from writing.  I generally go into a zone when I draw,  trying to translate a 3-dimensional visual reality onto a 2-dimensional flat page.I approach this challenge with a beginner’s mind which goes something like this: “Well I have no idea what I’m doing here, but let’s see what I can learn from myself.”
