connect.
inspire.
change the world.

Welcome to my online, dust bunny-free cyber home, where nothing is organized, your cup of tea comes with a side of dog hair, and nobody cares if you track muddy paw prints across the kitchen floor.
Right now, things are messier than usual here in our cyber home as I’m navigating to a new hosting service, and trying to create a new website, and…honestly when is life not in some sort of transition?
Someday soon, everything will be back under one roof.
For the time being, this will serve as home base. It won’t be pretty and it’ll take time for me to sort this out. But if I’m being honest? I’m learning a lot in this process.
And isn’t that the point? Follow your curiosity. Focus on the process, not the product. Explore what we can learn along the journey.
Hey, life is messy business. Won’t you join me in the fun?
With love,
Joanne Brokaw & Beau

Mini Collage Project
What started as a one time experiment right after the new year has grown to include more than 80 mini collages, created with no planning or agenda. It’s been a freeing creative journey and you’ve been invited along for the ride. Check out some of the artwork on my Instagram and read about the journey on my blog.

Exquisite Collaboration Project
This project began during the Covid pandemic as a way to spur creative thinking and connect with others during the weird time of isolation and uncertainty. Three years and several dozen poems later, the project continues to unite strangers from around the world in creative communion.
