Gratitude and partnership are vital to maintaining close relationships with those around you and living a more enjoyable life. I work with gratitude to brighten my personal experience and to reach out to and connect with loved ones. I do this by writing gratitude letters to loved ones and inviting them to make a collaborative piece with me. The artwork created stems from the recipients' wants, which could be anything from forging a knife to painting a pug wedding. The art is then given to the recipient to finish or to display how they wish. The process is an exercise in giving without any expected return past the joy of expressing my love for the people in my life.
