They call what they do
The Journey Daybook
Journey Daybook, Inc is a non-profit corporation founded by artist/writer Peggy Herrick. This corporation is committed to teaching, learning, & sharing the practice of created illustrated journals called journey daybooks.
Honoring the belief that art is a universal language , the Journey Daybook learning cooperative offers participants a heightened sensibility of themselves & the world around them. Participants learn the process of making & illustrating a personal journal in order to discover their artistic sensibilities. This process nurtures the spirit , serves as a catalyst for greater harmony & provides a unique artistic legacy. The Journey Daybook includes four elements : the journey; contemplation ;being present; & working alone. New participants learn the process at retreats that are held regularly somewhere away from home. Alumni adventures are hosted each month by different alumni at interesting sites near home.
The Journey Daybook enhances our ability to slow down & reflect , expands our world , & creates opportunities for us to reach out to others. This practice can be done at any time, in any place ----from humble places in our own communities to exotic, foreign lands. Our outreach has included working with at-risk youths, Hospice residents, school groups in florida, children & adults in Cuba, & a children's home in Peru. We also enjoy collaborating with groups who share a similar vision , through thoughtfully planned retreats & exhibits.

The artists are
Danielle Heslep (Zawoy) &
Natacha Monnalisa
Their artist statements follow.
Natacha Monnalisa---
I am an artist from the Dominican Republic & currently reside here in Gainesville. My style is a unique combination of vibrant colors, clean lines, & a blend of surrealism, realism, & abstract designs that illustrate my experiences. My drawings are the basis & blueprints to all my paintings. The drawings are kept simple through a minimal use of lines which are just enough to convey feelings & ideas in a whimsical & fantasy like manner. When transferred onto canvas , my medium of choice is acrylic due to its versatility & adaptability to a variety of uses & methods , as well as its high resistance to the elements. Acrylics can give me crisp colors , which I use to add impact & boldness , or can also act as watercolors permitting me to add an air of calmness & tranquility to the piece.
However I am not faithful to just one type of medium. Depending on the piece at hand , I may choose to use watercolors,inks, pencils, wood-burning stained glass, mosaics or a combination of some or all. Regardless of the media utilized in my pieces, the artwork remains true to my form & style. In the past year, I completed several series (each containing over twenty mini drawings & paintings) that explore, reflect, & embrace all the experiences , feelings & emotions that make us who we are,.
Overall, art is my ultimate expression & greatest passion !
Danielle Heslep (Zawoy)--
Local artist, Danielle Heslep has enjoyed drawing ever since she could pick up a pencil. She works with a wide variety of media : graphite, charcoal, soft pastels, pen & ink & acrylic paint , watercolor, granite engraving, & digitally creating art with Photoshop. Some of her favorite styles to create in are manga & combining realistic components into surreal/ fantasy artwork.

WHAT'S NEXT...
You have one more week to see the art that's on the walls now. See previous posts for details.
The artists for May are painters Mary-B Ferl & Joy Flowers . You can see their work beginning May 3--June 4--
Here's what they have to say about what they do----
Mary-B Ferl---
100% of the pictures I paint are happy accidents. Rarely do any of my paintings turn out as I had envisioned them. So, it's a big surprise every time. What could be more fun than that ?
Joy Flowers--
My love for painting began way back in my childhood with paint by numbers....then turned to painted wood items that I sold at craft fairs. I am basically self-taught but I did take some classes for the oil painting. Now I have evolved into water colors & acrylics. I don't stick to any one subject. I guess it's just what catches my eye at the moment. I especially enjoy painting landscapes & nature.
