In a culture that often celebrates hustle and noise, peace can feel rare. Yet, peace is the ultimate prize for so many of us and so we asked folks to reflect on when they feel most at peace.

Being in the woods on a spring day, on a lake or an ocean, in the early morning quiet or in the arms of some one you truly love are some of the most peaceful places I can be.

The studio is where I am most at peace. I have a seperate space outside of my home. A Casita, I call it my She Shed. I have everything I need in that space. It’s pretty crowded now with all my art supplies, stacked books, paintings, a desk with my computer, cd player, and my favorite collectables. Read More>>

I feel most at peace when I’m with my family, having a good time—relaxed, no drama, just good vibes. Family is wealth to me, and creating memories with them matters more than anything. Even when things get a little chaotic, that’s still where my peace lives Read More>>

I find peace in the quiet after a day of sharing my art. After the lights are turned off in the gallery and I’m surrounded by my art and the quiet hum of the city outside, I reflect on how much I’ve accomplished by sharing our culture’s beauty. Read More>>

I feel most at peace when I am out on a photographic shoot in the wild. There is never any pressure to perform, no rush to capture images, and no quota to qualify a day’s effort. It’s just me out in the wild exploring and enjoying the peace of nature. Read More>>
