Thank you, Mary! Art always finds an audience, and that’s what I trust in this new direction too.

Thank you, Pamela! I believe that we make the world a better place when we get the courage to use imagination. It makes our art more unique and enjoyable, and thus it serves other people as well. Have fun drawing, playing, and expressing yourself!

Thank you, Diane!! — I made the exercises of Animal Inkdom so that all have a common simple ground to start easily and then move on to a more personal direction.

Thank you, Nancy! Artists need artists to get inspiration and support! I found your website and you have some pretty awesome stuff there. I link it here for others to look too: http://www.nancyturbitt.com/

Thank you, Rae Lynn! I can’t wait what YOU draw with the second module of Animal Indom!!

I am enrolled in your Animal Inkdom class but haven’t started doing the exercises. Reading your blog has made me realise that my stiffness is stopping me from taking that step. I have been doing the technical thing of practising drawing flowers, but my fear of letting go has stopped me…up until today.

As I am writing this, an idea has popped into my head on how to draw my first butterfly. I am excited about the prospect of really letting go and finding the joy again.

You are a great inspiration Paivi, and I thank you for sharing your thoughts with us.
