A Fresh Chapter is Blooming

June is around the corner, and I find myself reflecting on the past several months with both gratitude and nervous excitement.

Change has been intertwining its way through my life lately, bringing opportunities to grow, stretch, rethink, and reimagine what’s possible. Growth (which usually means change) is rarely very comfortable or very easy, but it often reveals doors we didn’t even know were waiting for us. This year has felt very much like that for me —for sure, a time of transformation, creativity, and gentle, as well as some strong expansion.

A New Website Is Coming Soon ✨

One of the biggest changes is something I’m especially excited to share:

A brand-new website is on its way!

This new space is being created to feel more inspiring, welcoming, and easy to explore — a place where you can browse artwork for sale, learn about workshops, discover new offerings, and, hopefully, feel the creative footprint while visiting.

This project has definitely been a leap of faith for me. Like many creative quests, it has asked me to accept new ideas, share and shape them, learn unfamiliar things, and trust the process, even though it felt very bumpy in my heart and head at times. But honestly, that’s often where the magic unfolds.

I can’t wait to share it with you soon.

Workshops Will Continue (And Keep Growing)

While some things are changing, one fantastic thing will continue: Our workshops will absolutely continue as they are—same format, as always, new topics we explore together.

These gatherings have become such meaningful spaces, rich in creativity, kindness, calm moments, and wonderful people. Watching friendships form, seeing participants relax into the creative process, and witnessing people reconnect with themselves through art continue to inspire me every single time.

Whether you’ve attended before or have been quietly thinking about joining someday, I hope you’ll join and create with us. There’s always a seat waiting for you in our amazing creative community.

New Small Prints for Everyday Inspiration

For the first time, I am consciously showing and sharing my latest creative passion: Art born of the emotions of my everyday life. The new website will include a collection of small (5x7) art prints for sale, designed to bring a little beauty and encouragement into everyday spaces.

Perfect for desks, snug corners, gifts, studios, workspaces, or tiny reminders to pause to breathe.

Each piece was created to present a moment of calm, inspiration, imagination, or joy — little visual reminders that creativity and beauty matter.

Greeting Cards & Meaningful Connection

I’m also especially excited to offer new, like-minded greeting cards.

In a world that moves so quickly and digitally, handwritten notes feel more meaningful than ever. A simple card can remind someone they are loved, remembered, appreciated, or simply not alone.

These cards are designed to help encourage connection — whether for birthdays, thank-yous, difficult moments, celebrations, holidays, or small everyday kindnesses.

And yes…There may be a few other fun little goodies to browse through, too. 

As last but definitely not least: Thank You for Being Here.

More than anything, I want to say thank you.

Thank you for supporting my artwork, joining workshops, sharing kind words, encouraging my journey, and being part of this growing creative community. It truly means more than you know.

These cards are designed to help encourage connection—whether for birthdays, thank-yous, difficult moments, celebrations, holidays, or small everyday kindnesses.

I hope you’ll join me for what comes next.

Here’s to growth, art, community, and the soft magic of beginning again.

With gratitude,
Liz Carren
