Arts enabling the quiet moments that move us
About QuietudeMoving
QuietudeMoving provides a way to express, take risks, and share – using original art and reflective words to explore layers of a full and varied life.
As individuals, we carry so many roles in any single hour. We bounce between breadwinner, caregiver, spouse, friend, neighbor, teacher, consumer, colleague, stranger, guest, parent, child. Shifting gears between these competing worlds is demanding, and at times, both comical and illuminating. In a single afternoon, you might rush from a manufactured workplace deadline, to managing medical care for a loved one, to facing an advertisement stating that you are not fully X without using product Y.
This space is a labor of love for anyone who needs a moment to breathe.
Whether you are pausing over a difficult life decision, refining your values, smiling at the strange juxtapositions of modern adulthood, or finding your own meaning in an image and text, I hope you find a sanctuary here. May the brief pause offered by these illustrations, reflections, and insightful reader comments keep YOU moving forward and acting positively in the world.
