Quinn McDonald, author of Raw Art Journaling, wanted to be an obedient, dutiful wife and patient mother, but she was born at the wrong time.
She became a writer—in ad agencies, in corporations, at a newspaper. Traveled all over the world. Took notes.
There was always that restlessness, that raised eyebrow that wouldn’t behave. Then one day,
during a performance review, her boss said, "You are different, and seem to enjoy it.” It was not a compliment.
The clock on Quinn’s job security ticked to an end. From that day on, Quinn listened to her intuition, quit looking for meaning in
life and began making meaning. She creates art, writes, teaches and rides her motorcycle in the amazing landscape of the Sonoran desert. www.quinncreative.com/
