From Chaos to Color: Creating Through Change

Send a textAfter a break filled with big life changes, I’m back—and I’m excited to share what’s been blooming behind the scenes.In this episode, I open up about our move to Florida, navigating this season with my family, and how a little unexpected quiet time helped spark a whole new wave of creativity.While life has been busy, I’ve been building a watercolor tutorial series designed to help you reconnect with nature through art. Each one-hour session features wildlife painting, fun animal facts, personal stories, and simple, limited palettes—making creativity feel approachable, calming, and doable.I also share some of the playful projects and new series that have emerged along the way, including hidden message Valentine cards, snowy wildlife tracks, art unboxings, and “What Your Favorite Artwork Says About You.”This episode is an invitation to slow down, reconnect, and remember that you don’t need perfect conditions to create meaningful moments with nature.If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or just craving a creative reset—this one’s for you.✨ Learn more and watch the tutorials: https://www.youtube.com/@WildDevelopmentsStudio🌿 Stay connected on Social Media: @WildDevelopmentsStudio Get outside, see what develops, and stay wild!  Support the show
