1. send me a message

You may do so via this form. Please note: In order to optimize my focus on deep creative work, checking and responding to messages is not a super high priority for me. That said, if you shoot me a message and anticipate a response from me, be sure to check your spam and promotions folders for my reply. This is especially important if you have Gmail.

3. tuesday dawnings — a weekly message of uplift

Tuesday Dawnings is a “deep breath” message that I share each Tuesday morning.
For over 200 Tuesdays now, they have become a weekly practice of reminding myself (and anyone else who is interested) that, despite the relentless horrors, ugliness and anxieties permeating our lives, beauty and delight surround us, if we would just pause to notice.

Each edition of Tuesday Dawnings is a carefully curated collection of photography (my own, and predominantly of New Mexico), thought-provoking passages, poems and quotes from some of my favorite thinkers and writers. Frequently I include peeks into my painting projects and other creative activities. Soothing music rounds out every issue. Sometimes a good book recommendation or even a curious vocabulary word makes its way into an issue of Tuesday Dawnings. I spend hours each week curating these collections, yet provide them to subscribers — my Tuesday Revelers — for free.

5. the dawn chandler painting folio

This is my other blog and is strictly and simply an easy platform for sharing paintings. Kind of a cool and fun layout, this is a great place to just get a big visual pop of my recent work. Direct links to my Etsy shop are provided for each available painting. Visit the dawn chandler painting folio on Blogger.
