I’m restless in my curiosity and consistently creative. To an outsider, it’s clear that creativity involves output: paintings, outfits, decor, a garden. The creator knows output requires a frequent stream and synthesis of input to inspire those creations: seeing new things, traveling, learning about a wide range of topics, dabbling in new endeavors. 

tinykelsie.com is about living a creative life. I write about output, like my latest work, and input, like my latest read, hyperfixation, or travel destination.

This blog has been  my little place on the internet for a decade. I originally started blogging because I wanted a place to write, without an agenda, yet I find my meanderings all lead to the same mailbox: creative endeavors and the exploration that fuels them. In the past, I was funneling my unbounding energy into social media, DIYs, Halloween costumes, endurance racing, my wedding, a cross country move, another move, pregnancy,  a baby, raising two kids, world travel and the like.

These days, I'm still raising my family but I'm trying to do less other stuff so that I can do more of what I really love: making art, exploring (be it the great outdoors, the world, my latest book, or my own inner experience), and sharing with you  the lessons I learn as I make my way through an artful life.

Yep! I'm just under 5 feet tall.
