Taking Small Steps

by Gina lee Kim 

As a watercolor artist and a mom, people often ask how I find the time to make art. There’s never enough time really, but somehow—even if all I have is 15 minutes a day—I make it work. A part of me would love to paint a marathon session in the studio. But in reality, life takes small steps. That is how this art journal was made.

If I pursue the things that nourish my soul, I know I’m sending a profound message, especially to my son — that it’s never a waste of time to seek beauty, find meaning in my work, or to believe in my dreams. A journal finished in small steps can be a beautiful, life-affirming journey. »
