Creative Inspiration :: Sabrina Ward Harrison

Sabrina Ward Harrison is one of my favourite artists and authors. Her books - intimate, messy, colourful journals - tell the story of her journey through her twenties and into her early thirties. She honestly documents her relationships, travels, triumphs, struggles, and adventures using collage, photography, paint, and well-chosen words. Her artistic style has been a huge influence on my work, and she's very high up on the list of "girls I just wanna be friends with because they're so cool". Thanks for being so awesome, Sabrina.
Take a look at Sabrina's beautiful website here for a glimpse into her creative world. (And definitely buy her books...they're super great.)
Happy Tuesday! What artists have had a great influence on your life? Share 'em in the comments, darlings!

We've got so much in common!!

I love how SWH's hand writing looks like Ralph Steadman's.

Lesley Denford said...

Since I am your mother I am withdrawing myself from your contest, but I do have a quote that I love. It is from my favourite inspirational and spirtitual leader, Sonia Choquette. Sonia always signs her correspondence with "All my love." Because of this, I have started to sign with all my love.
She has made me realise that our love never runs out and neither does God's love. We don't have to ration our love for different people in our lives. God will always repelenish our reply, and I believe everytime we give all our love, the love that replaces that love is richer and stronger. So having a quote that states "All my Love" would remind me that God is sending all his love to me, as he does send all His love to everyone, if only they are willing to accept it.

That's my thought for today.

All my love, Mum

Sorry there was a typo "reply" should be supply, but there are no mistakes, so I suppose "reply" does work in this case.

All my love Mum
