Awesome Love

The other day my husband asked me what I was thinking about, as I stared off into the sky. 
"Art. Always thinking about art", was my reply.  
It's true. It's incredibly hard for me to focus on many mundane things in life when my brain is always full of imagery and composition and colour. 
Art surrounds us, and we mostly don't realize it. 
For me, my joy and my passion is to show others how art, and living our purpose can help us connect: to each other and to ourselves. 

This is one of my favourite designs. I call it Awesome Love and recently a fellow spontaneously chose to buy a copy for his wife. Just because. 
That's it folks. That's why I do what I do. 
So you, go on with your awesome self, get out there and find your way to make art in your life. Spread love. Make joy. Be passionate. Get your awesome love on.

Welcome

Hello, my name is Dalyce (pronounced DALLAS).  Welcome to my art blog!

I've had two different blogs over the past three years, but they never felt like a good and comfortable fit. This blog is quite different.  I've approached the design and purpose from a whole new angle and it feels really right.

This is going to be my space to share and explore my love for all things ART.  I am an artist--in that I write, paint, draw, colour, build, and take pretty photos.  I also like to make delicious food, challenge myself to grow as a human spirit and dress in clothes that make me feel somewhat styled.  These are the ways I like to express my creativity and produce artful things to brighten up our world.

At this little webspace, you can expect a lot of delightful, inspiring and beautiful imagery to show up.  I will sometimes reflect on art as a healing medium, because I really believe in art-as-therapy, and there will be tips, ideas and techniques shared to help you become brave and inspired to make your own art.
I believe that we are all artists, whether we make pictures or build sculptures or fix engines for a living. Creativity is the magic juice that has the power to transform lives.  Let's get to know our creative powers!

Thanks for checking me out.  I'm totally thrilled that you're here!

XO, D
