Hi Jo Ann,
Thanks so much for attending! I’m glad you enjoyed the program and that you were able to try out journaling as a new skill. Happy sketching!

I attended your Nature Journaling workshop yesterday (10/20/25) at Pine Run. It was a lot of fun. Your visuals were excellent. But what I most enjoyed was your enthusiasm and obvious love of what you are doing. I have been drawing and painting for many years, and having studied biology in college, my art tends to be nature-oriented but I never tried nature journaling. You have encouraged me to try something new. Thanks!
