The Artist's Journey
by Marcia Shaver

My mom will be celebrating a "significant milestone birthday" this week and as a gift to herself, she's been training for a 550 mile (885 km) pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela later this spring.

The route is often referred to as "El Camino" and my mom will be doing this on her own and alone. (Naturally, I am both excited and anxious for her ;-)

As part of her preparation, she is "devouring" any information she can find about this journey and came across The Artist's Journey, a book by an Artist who walked El Camino and drew pictures and sketches to document her journey.

In talking to my mom, I realized that we are all on a journey. So, I wanted to ask you:

How do you apply and use your artistic talents to document and enhance YOUR journey(s)?

I'd love to hear your answers and thoughts!

If you're open to it, please feel free to share them either via email or on our Facebook Page.
