Hi everyone, and Happy New Year! 🎉 We’re Debs and Ruth, and on this fresh start to 2025, we’re sitting down to share our thoughts, intentions, and reflections with you. This conversation is all about the journey we’re on as artists—what we’ve learned, where we’re headed, and how we’re planning to grow creatively this year.

We’ll talk about the lifestyle changes we’ve been making, the influence of seasons on our work, and how we’re finding balance between personal life and art. Join us as we reflect on 2024, set goals for the new year ahead, and explore ways to connect with our art community and deepen our creative practices.

- The importance of setting intentions to guide your creative focus.
