Marcie Kenny has created quite the artistic world for herself in her corner of the blogosphere. In fact the title of her blog is Marcie’s Nook, which implies that she’s created a place where she can display whatever creative inkling she has at any given moment. This, my friends, is what I truly love about blogging–the ability to create without permission.

What initially drew me to her blog was her gorgeous pictures of flowers and landscape, and how much fun she seemed to have experimenting with different art. There’s a strange and comforting peace in her art too, like there’s no need to impress anyone or to create anything that doesn’t fit with what she’s feeling. I love how she says “Now that my thoughts and pictures are out there I can’t stop!”

I think most bloggers feel the same way. It’s addicting, and gives you a hell of a direction. Here’s what she had to say.

Has blogging helped you in any emotional or creative way? 

Yes, blogging for me has been a three year journey introducing myself, my love for the arts, and my use of paint, photography and words. It was a way for me to show my work. Painting started out in an art class I took using water colors. I then started using the blog as a way of letting people into my world of the arts. The water colors got some rave reviews from my blogging friends that I picked up along the way, so from there I worked with acrylic paints in a kit called Paint Your Own Master piece.  

The photography started as a hobby, but then I started putting them on the blog. Blogging with photos brought more challenges, but with each picture I put on my blog, it showed how I had grown in talent, from using a hand held camera called a snappy camcorder to an upgrade to the Nikon Cool pix L310.

Has blogging daily/weekly helped you achieve any personal goals?

The goals for my blog have been achieved through my weekly blogging.  It has been kind of like my own personal museum of my creative mind. I have met many blogging friends along the way who encourage me to keep going.

Does the ritual of daily/weekly blogging give you motivation to pursue things you are passionate about?

My blogging has brought out my passion for the arts! Now that my thoughts and pictures are out there I can’t stop. I keep moving forward with each blog I share.  My latest paint project will be done on canvas.  Stop by anytime and check out my work as I am also planning on working on new projects. It’s my world and welcome to it!

To see what Marcie has been up to, check out her little nook and leave her a comment if you see something you like. She’s been so sweet to participate in this series, I can’t thank her enough for opening up her creative space to the Novel Quest community. Till next time  peeps!
