Embracing Your Inner Artist

As we continue our journey together at CCWW Designs, I wanted to share a personal story that has shaped not only my artistic path but also the essence of what we create.

Many of the pieces in our collection are one of a kind, born from a desire to craft meaningful jewelry for myself and my children. What began as a personal endeavor unexpectedly grew into something larger. Throughout my life as an artist, I have often struggled to embrace that identity.

Years ago, while illustrating children’s books I had written, I attended a convention that profoundly changed my perspective. There, I discovered that my work was primarily for my own enjoyment and for my children, rather than for external validation or market needs. This realization taught me that the journey itself is the essence of my creativity.

During an enlightening lecture by a publisher, I remember her asking who in the room considered themselves writers, illustrators, or artists. Very few hands were raised. However, when she asked who had written or illustrated a book, every hand shot up. Her words that followed shifted my mindset forever: we are all artists and writers, regardless of publication status. We crossed that threshold the moment we envisioned our first creation.

From then on, I proudly identified as an artist. I encourage each of you to do the same. Whether you are a painter, poet, designer, or simply an artist at heart, allow yourself to embrace that identity. This is an invitation to share your authentic self with the world.

Throughout my life, I have expressed my emotions through various art forms—writing poetry, decorating homes, creating stunning flower arrangements, and most importantly, nurturing three remarkable individuals. CCWW Designs embodies this dream, merging jewelry with poetry, music, sculpture, and artistry. Each piece we create is a symphony of artistic expression, and I hope this resonates with you as you explore our collection.

Remember, your mind knows only the words you choose and the images you envision. Imagine the life you desire and describe yourself as that person; you may discover that they already exist within you.

Thank you for being a part of the CCWW Designs family. Your support means the world to me.
