Where Wellness & Art Belong On The Same Canvas
Dearest Artist,
Designing isn’t just about what you put on the page—it’s also about what you put back into yourself. The truth is, creativity runs best on rest, rituals, and the kind of habits that keep your spark lit. This month, we’re celebrating the makers who remind us that art isn’t only about the finished product—it’s about the process, the pace, and the peace you find along the way.
From my new home in Philadelphia to my roots in Las Vegas, we’re spotlighting artists whose work inspires calm, connection, and care. Their art is a gentle nudge that taking care of ourselves is part of taking care of our craft.
Keep tending to your creativity—and yourself. The world needs both.
