Dear Friend,
Ten years ago on this day, May 20, 2016, I was hit head-on by a drunk driver going 60 mph. I shouldn’t have survived. Some of you may remember this happening in real time. A decade later, this is my story:
Thanks to Bailey Gaylin Moore and Past Ten Magazine for allowing me to tell this important story on a very important anniversary.
These are lessons I always need to hear and remember.
Maybe you do, too?
Thanks for reading and loving me, now and then.
To your biggest creative life,
Love,
Nancy

A special 90-min Virtual Workshop and Conversation
Friday, May 1 at 11 am MST via Zoom REGISTER FOR FREE HERE
To be an artist in dark times is a radical act. Maybe you’ve even found yourself in fight, flight, or freeze, wondering how is making art helping anything?
We live in a culture that profits on our exhaustion, commodifies our attention, worships productivity, and values us as consumers over citizens, a society that can’t understand or appreciate the calling or patience of the creative process.
To stay creative in these times is an act of resistance, one that requires compassion, courage, and loving diligence. In this workshop and conversation we will invite the elephant in the room to be named, we will embolden both our lives and our art with tools, strategies, and a clear-seeing awareness of the true stakes, and we will unpack our vital, critical, and changing role as the artistic visionaries of our time.
This is an invitation to a deeper possibility of peace, joy and wonder in your creative practice, integrating craft, mindset, and sustainability as your own personal site of resistance.Together we will re-imagine and reclaim our long-term creative lives while we strengthen each other in doing the radical work of staying.
xoxo Nancy
