The Quiet Launch: How I'm Rebuilding My Website And Aligning With My Own Values.

Hi all you lovely creatives out there, and welcome to KreativeKateArt.

Grab a cuppa and let’s chat.

If you’ve visited my website before, you might have noticed a few (well… more than a few) changes. When I first set it up, I always imagined it as a reflective, blog-style space — somewhere to share little pieces of me, my art journey, the highs and lows, and glimpses of everyday life. I hoped it would become a space where you could see how all those parts gently thread together and reflect in my work.

But in truth… I had no idea where to begin.No idea how to write, or what to say, or whether anyone would even want to read it.

Now though, something in me knows: if I don’t start now, I might never start.

I’m not much of a writer (despite loving the idea of writing). But if you’re willing to come along with me on this learning journey — through the ups and downs, detours and discoveries — then you are so very welcome here.

It won’t always be polished or perfect.But I hope it’ll be honest, maybe sometimes a little entertaining, maybe sometimes even helpful. Above all, I want this space to feel real.

Letting Go of the Old

As much as the old site served a purpose, it was — by default — very much like many other art websites. It did the job, I suppose, but it lacked warmth. It wasn’t welcoming, or spiritual, or particularly “me.”

It was functional… but forgettable.

It didn’t feel like a space you’d want to sit down in with a cup of tea. It didn’t feel like an invitation. Honestly? I’m not even sure it sold anything — not really.

But more importantly, it didn’t speak the way I wanted it to. It didn’t hold the energy I pour into my art, or the reflections that rise up while I’m painting, walking the dog, journaling, or just staring out the window wondering what it all means.

This time, I want to build something with heart and that is closer to my own values.... truth, honesty, creativity and peace.

A Glimpse of What’s to Come

So, what will that actually look like?

Well… you’ll definitely see a bit of the mess and chaos that happens behind the scenes (as they say). Reflections on life. What it feels like to create. The obstacles I face — and how I get through them. Or maybe I’ll ask you for help getting through them — because let’s face it, two heads are better than one.

Some days I might write about nature, gardening, dog walks or training sessions. Other days, I may explore how ADHD shows up in my creative process — and yes, please be gentle with me on the consistency front. We ADHD folk do try our best… and I’m counting on you all to help keep me gently accountable.

There may be journaling. There may be conversations around wellbeing, mental health, and spirituality.

There will definitely be everyday life — with all its tangled, tender threads. And hopefully, over time, we’ll build a little community here where sharing feels safe and natural.

What You Will Find Here

• Honest reflections from the studio

• Musings on creativity, spirit, and the messy middle

• WIPs, experiments, and art-in-progress

• The realities of living (and creating) with ADHD

• Nature, dog walks, garden moments

• Mental health check-ins and journaling rituals

• And a whole lot of real-life magic in between

Right, that’s enough rambling for one post, don’t you think?

Thanks for stopping by — really. Whether you’re here for the art, the dog tales, the ADHD chaos, or just a moment of calm with a cuppa, I’m so glad you’re here.

No big promises, just honest thoughts and creative meanderings. Let’s begin.

I don't have to love every new path- I just have to be willing to walk it. Every unfamiliar stroke is a doorway to something I haven't met in myself yet.
