“Laura has me drawing again. Now, if your definition of “drawing” includes accurate still-life renderings of objects and people in nature, then my ability leaves much to be desired. If, however, your definition captures more of the process – exploring creatively, communicating – instead of specific results, then I’m someone who can draw!

I love setting out with Laura and company with our sketch pads and Sharpies in tow, seeing the world with intentional, open eyes. We share our experiences and I learn more about my friends; how they see, how they think. There is magic in being creative together!”

“The Sketchbook Tour is so much more than simply drawing in a notebook. It’s been an opportunity to express my creativity and connect with my surroundings in a way that seems so rare these days. It has provided moments to truly be present wherever I am and see what’s in front of me from different perspectives.

It’s a reminder that no matter who I’m with, we all see the same things differently. And it’s a hell of a lot of fun!”
