BEHIND THE BLOG

As writer, teacher, jewelry-maker and everyday woman, I'm fascinated by the ways that clarity and clutter shape creative lives. To me, the question of how much stuff we have is far less important than how much time, freedom and focus we can bring to our creative efforts. Sure, sometimes clutter manifests tangibly, as supplies, possessions, or mementos. But just as often it appears in less physical (but no less powerful) forms: as distractions, drains, obligations, expectations, judgments, and fears that leave us no time or energy to make art or even dream dreams. My first "DeClutter Your Creativity" classes were inspired by my own personal struggle to find the balance of abundance and emptiness needed to fuel my work...and to find it again, and again, and again as my life and work evolve. This blog is another way to dialogue on the subject: written with curiosity, compassion and (sometimes) comedy from the often befuddling place where creativity and clutter meet.

MOMA IN A MINUTE



This little video lets you look at every one of the paintings that were on view in New York's Museum of Modern Art on April 10, 2010. In one minute. To piano (Philip Glass's Mad Rush, in case you wonder.) It's not as good as wandering through MOMA some spring evening, perusing art with one eye and people with the other. And it's not going to declutter our lives. But it is a reminder that delight can come in small packages. And that lots of creative inspirations can be warehoused right on our computers...nary a bulky art book in sight.
