I'm Alison Marra,
- painter, writer, crafter, and mother. Welcome to True North, where I share the process of reclaiming my childhood dream to be an artist. Here I document recent projects, celebrate the small beauties of our home life, and offer my thoughts on creative recovery. If you're working on setting your internal compasses to your own creative true north, I hope you will feel at home here. I treasure your comments and have a new policy of trying to answer each one... so don't hesitate to join the conversation! Thanks so much for stopping by.
