Blog

It’s been a little while since I last wrote here.  Nearly two years, in fact.  Life pulled me into many directions - painting, traveling, teaching, and sometimes simply quieting down to listen to what matters most.  During that time I’ve been reflecting on my creative journey, shifting my focus, and allowing space for new meanings to emerge in my work.

So - hello again!  If you’re reading this, thank you for being here.  I’m happy to return, and I look forward to sharing thoughts, updates, and discoveries about art, creativity, and the things that inspire me.

Today I want to share an announcement I also mentioned in my newsletter this morning: I’ll be participating in a special live Book Club series dedicated to Art & Fear by David Bayles and Ted Orland.

Art & Fear: A Live Conversation You Won't Want to Miss

I’ll be part of The Guilded Page Book Club’s live discussion of Art & Fear, a wonderful book that has accompanied many artists through moments of hesitation, searching, and renewal.

  
The series begins January 20, and runs for three Tuesday nights, 7-8pm (CST) via Zoom.  Each week is co-facilitated by guest artists - including me - who will share stories, insights, and reflections on the creative journey.  I’m honored to be involved, and I’d love for you to join us.

If you’ve read the book before, or if it has been waiting on your shelf, or if you’re simply curious about how artists make work despite fear, uncertainty, or doubt - this will be a meaningful space to explore those conversations together.

More updates soon, and thank you again for stopping by after my long silence. Wishing you a bright start to the year.

Warmly,

Keiko Tanabe
