SEE YOU is a newsletter for deepening your creative practice through self-discovery.
You want to make art and heed your creative calling.
You daydream new ideas constantly.
Your soul knows it’s meant to do this.
But navigating the how is where you get stuck.
Making room for our art practice can be so overwhelming, especially while balancing a day job.
Where do you begin? How do you choose which idea to pursue? When do you find the time? Why do projects remain unfinished? What do you truly want to create?
What is SEE YOU?
In this weekly newsletter I share my path as a working artist, exploring the inner landscape of creative practice with openness and care.
Through personal reflections, process insights, and practical guidance, I offer gentle support for your art and writing practice—whether you're just beginning to explore or have been creating for years.
Each week brings creative advice and glimpses into my life as a working artist, from detailed material reviews to monthly roundups of inspiring finds. I also feature conversations with fellow artists and illustrators who share their own journeys.

Who is behind SEE YOU?
Hi! My name is Carolyn, an artist, illustrator, and writer based in Brooklyn, New York. After years as a software engineer in the corporate world, I took the leap in 2024 to commit to a more creative life.
My path has been shaped by deep exploration of writing, art, and community building over the past decade. Inspired by The Artist's Way, I've been sharing my creative journey through this newsletter for over five years, weaving together my experiences in illustration, writing, and self-discovery.
You can learn more about my work on my website or browse my collection of art prints and products in my online shop.
