My longtime friend and artist Stephanie Barrow spent last year making videos about making art. She made a commitment to herself to do it and she followed through. I love that. Today she posted a video about what she learned from a year of meeting that personal commitment. Besides the window into her vibrant art that this video provides, I also liked learning about the evolution in her thinking regarding the value of making these art videos.
The video in the above link is about five minutes. If you don’t have five minutes to burn, click on the link below to her website, and enjoy her smiling face. It’ll brighten your day. And maybe her current charity challenge listed there will inspire you to make a deal with yourself, a personal challenge of some kind. Doesn’t have to be a yearlong thing. Could be a month. Could be a week. Just a thing that’s all your own.

ahhhh that’s so sweet of you! I’ve been thinking of you a lot as I finish up that book…..we have had quite a rich history trying to get books out of ourselves havent we?
We do! It’s so fun to share all this growth and creativity with you, my friend.
Thank you for sharing Stephanie and her You Tube channel. I loved watching the five minute distillation of her year making art. (a jaw dropping experience). Fabulous!
She’s a unique soul. We met in Alaska in 1984 and serendipitously moved Oregon in the same year for vastly different reasons. Next time you and I go for coffee, remind me to share some of her amazing journey.
