About

This blog is dedicated to helping people find their creative zone and master artistic techniques for joyous expression.  As an artist and painting instructor, I pay attention to what works for people as they pursue their creative goals, and that is what I present here.

I write about how artists manage to make a living, organize their work day and studios, network with each other and impact their communities.    I seek out artists who are productive and successful,  interview them, and discuss what can be learned from their approach.   I also speak from and about my own experiences making art every day.

Are you interested in learning creative practices and pitfalls from other artists? If so, please subscribe to my blog (see column at right.)  Do you have an idea for me to write about?  You can add your comments/ideas below.

My artistic specialty is the ketubah and painting, which can be found on my website:  http://www.judithjosephstudio.com
