Greetings

Welcome to “Tracking the Muse”.  I have long wanted to create a blog to express my thoughts on living the creative life.  Here I am finally doing it.

I thought long and hard about a title for this page. It needed to encompass the diversity of my artistic expressions.  All my life the muse has led me in different directions, from painting to gardening, cooking, silversmithing jewelry, writing poetry, basket weaving, playing piano and more. As a student of Tom Brown Jr’s Tracker School, the word “tracking” hints at the importance of nature in my life and describes my creative path.  Like a tracker, an artist uses all their senses.  They closely observe their surroundings down to the smallest grain of sand.  Most of my inspiration comes from my observations of the natural world and the mysteries contained within.  Look closely and you will find infinite beauty.       

It is with this in mind that I begin my blogging journey…
