The theme for my 2025 will be 'Focus'. I feel like I've been all over the place with everything and now I just want to focus on things that interest me the most, focus on people that matter most, etc. Don't spread myself thin.

I love this and the fact that you are going with a theme. I find themes much more helpful than thinking about goals first. We need something in mind when those surprise opportunities/challenges arrive throughout the year. I wish you a happy and creative 2025.

My theme for 2025 is "space." Letting myself occupy more space, mentally, physically, and ... time wise? I think the past couple years have felt like such a hustle to get more done and fit more in, it's left the things that I love most feeling rushed and neglected. I love hearing about all your workshops and hope we can connect in the new year, too! All the best.

What a great choice! I may need to consider this for 2026. Yes, there is so much urgency with everything, and with so much political change coming to the US and Canada this year, creating space away from that is also essential. I hope to see you at a future Artawa event where we can catch up. Also, I have some supplies to donate ;-)

I have taken two of your graphite courses on Etchr and learned so much. You introduced me to GraphGear pencils and I love them. You have helped me improve my freehand drawing immensely. I look forward to futures classes with you. Thank you.
