 Lines of Expression has a New Direction

If you have been following this blog for a while, you know Lines of Expression has always been about the sketchbook. The lines. The habits. The quiet discipline of showing up to the page. 

I loved that season. I still do. 

But lately, something has been shifting. 

A New Season

I have been spending more time in the garden. More time in the kitchen. More time paying attention to what grows—in the soil, in my body, and in my spirit. 

And I realized: my creativity does not stop at the edge of the page. 

It extends into the dirt and the things that are growing in it. Into the food I prepare. Into the tea I brew from leaves growing in the garden. 

So I am widening the lens. 

Something is Growing Here

Lines of Expression is no longer just about what I am creating with sketchbooks or paint, or other media. It is about how I express myself in every area of life: through the food I eat, the garden I tend, and the habits that keep me connected to what matters. 

You will still see sketchbook pages here. You will still see drawings! But you will also see: 

  • Garden updates
  • Simple, clean recipes
  • Tea experiments (including the one that accidentally put me to sleep)
  • Reflections on what the garden teaches me about life

This is not a departure. It is an expansion.

I hope you will stay with me. And if you are new here—welcome! Have a seat. Make yourself to home; there is room for everyone at this table. 

“Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?”
— Isaiah 43:19
