More than 12 years after Mary Jo Hoffman originally committed to a daily art project where she found something in nature that would inspire her and then photograph it, she is still going strong and hasn't missed a single day. She shared these images on her blog Still -- one image, daily, of gathered natural objects found near her.

A former aeronautical engineer, Mary Jo Hoffman, wanted to add some creativity to her life while being home with her two children.  Every walk with her kids or my dog would turn into a STILL blog treasure hunt.

Mary Jo's one-a-day project turned into a new career in the creative arts. She went from sharing her images on her blog, to collaboration with designers, plus organizations and companies like: Martha Stewart,  Midwest Living, the Scottish National Opera, Target Corporation, West Elm, and Better Homes & Gardens.

This daily practice has allowed her so many unexpected blessings and in a different understanding of nature and the world we live in. She shares her idea of radical incrementalism and explains how we all can tap into our creativity by doing a little bit everyday. She also discusses her creative process and how she approaches the business side of making her art and sharing it with the world. 

You can find her book STILL: The Art of Noticing to learn more about her story, her creative process, and her gorgeous artwork.

I absolutely LOVE being the host and producer of "Women with Cool Jobs", where I interview women who have unique, trailblazing, and innovative careers. It has been such a blessing to share stories of incredible, inspiring women since I started in 2020.
