| CHANNING DESIGN has many new offerings in 2010! My purpose remains the same - to share creative inspiration with you so that you can begin your own creative process, and through this lens you can then find each day fascinating and exciting. My theme – Artful Simplicity, will be coming to you through the same wonderful things you’ve come to know and love about CHANNING DESIGN. The emphasis will be on seeing the beauty and creating with simplicity, not complexity. I’ll be communicating with you, sharing ideas and getting more conversation with you to develop my purpose – through my newsletter, classes, new workshops , shows and all the opportunities we’ll have to be together throughout the year. |

Everything is meant to enhance your artfulness– for you and for your environment. (Click image for larger view). |
