My Creative Journey

It’s been a while since my last post—and a lot has happened since I became Mrs. Reinhart. But today’s update isn’t about life changes; it’s simply to document where I am in my creative journey.

I think it was around June or July 2023 when I started diving into art and crafts on a daily basis. I’ve been learning through YouTube tutorials, reading art books (I’m happy to say I’ve collected at least 15 new PDF art books—still unread but full of promise!), daily sketching, journaling and reflecting. Most of my learning happens quietly, in my little art space, where I create and share my output to my social media—not for the likes or recognition, but because I believe art is meant to be shared. Just as beauty is subjective, so are the pieces I make. I’m not always sure if I’ve captured the feelings or message I intended but each piece is a part of me.

My art space has evolved over time, a reflection of who I’m becoming.  My table was a wooden one handmade by my late father—sturdy, full of character, and rich with sentiment. Every decoration around it was placed by yours truly. 

These were photos of my old art space.

 

Recently, I’ve painted some pieces I once only dreamed of creating. I’m still in awe every time I look at them—did I really paint these? They might not be at a professional level, but they’re clear evidence of my progress.

This year, I’m grateful to have met many good and kind artists who continue to inspire me to grow and improve. Thank you to my wonderful husband for his constant support and love he gave me on this journey.
