What is this substack all about?
In this substack, I share monthly newsletters with information about upcoming events, recent publications, and studio news. I also share occasional blog posts with musings on life, teaching, art, creativity, writing—whatever is on my mind.
About the Author
Hello! I am Diane V. Mulligan, a teacher, novelist, watercolor artist, urban sketching enthusiast, folkie with a guitar and I’m not afraid to play it, baker, dog-lover, sister, friend, person. I might sound like a Renaissance woman, but don’t be fooled: There are loads of things I can’t do. I can’t do geometry. I can’t dunk a basketball. I can’t be bothered to weed my garden or to vacuum as often as I should.
What I’m really, really good at is making time for creativity in my life. Although my day job as a high school English teacher keeps me busy, I have found ways to keep up my writing, music, and painting, and as a result, I am a happier, calmer person! It is my mission and passion to help others unleash their creativity and reap the benefits of creative freedom beyond the page or canvas because I think making art can improve a person’s daily life.
