Visions of Self 2025 + What’s Next

Hello, friends,

The sun is shining a little longer each day, and spring is just around the corner—a time of renewal, reflection, and creation. It feels like the perfect moment to share something new with you.

This is my first newsletter using this format, and I want to take a moment to say: thank you for being here. Whether you've been with me for a while or just joined, I truly appreciate you.

Visions of Self

I’m honored to have four of my pieces included in the 5th annual Visions of Self online exhibition at Mettagallery.com. This juried show features 104 pieces by 68 artists from around the world, each one exploring self-expression in a deeply personal way. Every piece includes an artist’s vision statement, adding another layer of meaning to the experience.

If you have a moment, I’d love for you to take a look and see the beautiful range of work included.

Creative Possibilities

Lately, I’ve been thinking about the different ways I want to share my art and creative work. Here are a few ideas I’m exploring:

🖋 Seasonal letters or mini-zines – sent digitally or by snail mail
🌱 Garden-related creations – planters, trellises, yard art, garden related art prints, gardening printables, or simple guides
🎨 Small art pieces – available as digital downloads or limited-edition prints
🎨 Commissions – self-portraits and pet portraits in my own digital style
🎨 Online art classes + kits – Guided creative sessions with thoughtfully curated supplies.
💡 Creativity coaching – Support and guidance to help you reconnect with your creativity, overcome blocks, and bring your ideas to life.

I'd love to know—what excites you the most? If any of these ideas spark your interest, feel free to reply and let me know. Your thoughts mean a lot as I continue shaping what comes next.

You can also explore more of my work on my website, www.karmen-naccarato.com, where I share my art, offerings, and creative journey.

If you’d like to read more about my art and my thoughts of the creative process, you can always find me over at The Liminal Canvas.

Wishing you warmth and inspiration as the season shifts,
Karmen
