Paula’s Zany Artful Life Project

Paula GranquistI believe if I want more joy & beauty in my life, then I have to create a more artful life.

My Intention – Each day I will create something so that I may experience a full life of practicing my credo: Enjoy your imagination today.

What a ride it will be! Are you willing to join me? I know that collaboration fuels the process. Welcome to my Zany Life.

My Guideposts:

  • I am a story artist.
  • Every step matters and teaches.
  • Disfrute la loca de la casa – Enjoy your crazy imagination!
  • Focus on one thing – what one thing now?
  • Everything has it’s place; do it now.
  • Practice drives dreams.

Artist Statement

I share stories. I ask questions and create characters on the airwaves for ArtZany! – Radio for the Imagination, on the page, in photographs and in the classroom. I believe in imagination and the transformational power of stories.
