Remodeling, Re-branding, & Renaming in 2023

November 14, 2023
Hello everyone,
It has been an exciting year and a lot has changed!

This includes my name. My life have changed quite a bit over the past five years.
So many life changes have happened including a move to Iowa, starting my PhD program, getting a new job, and more!

 I have enjoyed working and living here over the past two and a half years. I simply can't believe I have been here this long. Time seems to more illusive the older I get. With my new life, has come many unexpected changes. I have completed my M.A. in Psychology and have decided to continue forward pursing my PhD. This has already help some challenges. However, I am hanging in there. I am still working in my art book, "The Book of Rainbow", a mixed media journal with monthly entries that include whimsical art with both big and small events tha
t happen in my life. 

Along with my name change, I have decided to re-brand this website and make some changes! 
 As strange as it may seem, I will be changing my name in most areas. Some of my art may still reflect my older name. At first, I thought maybe starting a new website would be best. However, I think it is great to continue the journey as my life actually is and what changes have occurred here.

 Plus, some of you have been following my art and life journey here for many years. I would not want to change things too much. My main goal for this website is to share both life and art with you as they are. Here are s few memories I have made this year... I was able to visit Port Huron, Michigan last month. The water is so inspiring and magical. I hope you enjoy these photos!
Below is a photo of me in front of the beautiful Lake Huron. I was so inspired by this trip! 


Hopefully, I will have more art to publish here in the upcoming weeks.
I am me and free!
Stay Creative,
Linnea




 

New Art Journal Project: The Book of Rainbow

February 12, 2023
Hello everyone!
I hope everyone is doing good this winter.
Over the past few years, there has been a lot of challenges to overcome.
Now, I am finally seeing the rainbow at the end of the storm. The last time I saw a rainbow was at a nearby lake in Alabama (Lisenby Lake).
Of course, I am no longer living in Alabama and currently reside in beautiful Iowa.
Over the past year, I have been completing my M.A. in General Psychology.

Whew! I can't believe that I will  graduate in March! I suppose I wi...

Hello everyone!

It has been a very time since I've updated my blog.

Like most things, it changes over tim...

New Artsy Waldorf Rhythm Chart

January 29, 2015

I created our very own Waldorf rhythm chart yesterday. I am so thrilled with how it came out! I used some watercolor paper and secured the back with an additional piece of watercolor paper. In addition, I used some colored pencils and chalk pastels. Creating this has really taught me the idea behind rhythm.

Unlike a rigid schedule, a rhythm is more a "flow of events" that happen in a given time period. So you could have a daily rhythm chart, a weekly, rhythm chart, or even a yearly/seasonal c...

Autumn Waldorf Lantern Celebration

October 16, 2014
To mark the turn of the season, in Waldorf education, there is always a celebration! Autumn wind is blowing, leaves are turning, and everyone spirits seem lifted and renewed. Where I live, the summers are harsh and very tropical feeling. Autumn is slower to reach where I live and is often short-lived. So in this special time, I decided to create a "Waldorf Autumn Lantern" to light the turn of the season. I did find many ideas on Pintrest, but none that actually spoke to me. I was looking for ...

Re-Vamping My Front Porch "Nicole" Style

August 16, 2014

Recently, I have been taking a liking to furniture again. These two chairs were actually on the side of the road ready to head to the dump. I've been wanting to make my front porch more inviting without spending a lot of money while putting my artistic flair to work. So, I picked up a can a paint for around $15 with a primer, and started to reinvent these two 70's dump specials. I started out with "Cosmos Blue" and covered the chairs with two coats of paint. I then took some craft paint for a...

Photography & Art

August 7, 2014


Recently, I had the opportunity to work with the "photography" medium.

Last year, I taught a simple but very beneficial course, "Introduction to Photography". It is published by Oak Meadow (a homeschooling vendor and school). And of course, prior to this course, I knew really nothing about techniques regarding photography.
So, in some ways, I learned while teaching the class. And of course one the best things about this class was discovering how each photo can be cropped and literally transfo...
