Live with Laurie Maves ART – Interview and Insights

Another highlight this week was my virtual trip to Anhui Province, Eastern China. I shared the end of a workday with my new friend, Cunningham. He drew the entrance to his local train station that he uses for business trips, and yo!…by the time the hour was up, I’d seen the Yangtze River and all! He started by saying, his drawings are ugly, I replied mine are too, but we’re gonna do it anyway :) And it’s going to be fun!! Personally, I absolutely loved his line drawing. He left the session, looking forward to the next Wednesday session, and so did I.

Everyone’s pieces are precious to me because they took the time to share them with me, and a huge special shout-out to Written by Dee J and Laurie Maves ART for bothering to show up since we started.

Friends, in our small circle, you’ll find:

A supportive and kind atmosphere where you can freely share your work and ideas.
Collective encouragement to experiment, take creative risks, find and celebrate your unique voice.
Regular gatherings that keep your motivation strong and help transform creative blocks into breakthroughs.

If you’re seeking community and creative renewal, this group might be just what you’re looking for.

Everyone is welcome, come as you are, and let’s grow our creative circle!
