Art has always been a part of my life. As a kid, I enjoyed coloring. As I got older I enjoyed sketching, but never planning on it being a career so I never took art classes in school or college. It was always something I did in my spare time, as a hobby. It came naturally.
Once I retired, I decided to paint full time, take some workshops and give selling a shot. I found that my hobby became a part-time job that benefited me with my anxiety. I then became familiar with pattern designs. I love creating art for home decor products and patterns work best. The problem is that pattern design is learned and most of the work is done via a computer. I can no longer pick up a brush and do what has come naturally.
I believe many artists are like me, curious about working with different mediums, with different objects and with a desire to create. As much as I love pattern design, it is something I need to learn.. I took an online course and created the two below. Since I have forgotten all that I learned, any pattern I create now will need to be done by hand. If in the future, I have time, I will definitely enroll in a course.
