"Embracing the Process, Practicing Gratitude: Learning to See Beauty in the Small Things"
Using stories and lessons from her own journey, Shari will share how embracing the creative process allowed her inner artist, abandoned for decades, to emerge again and how a gratitude challenge led her to find - and photograph - beauty in the small things.

About Shari: Shari Miller is a photographer with a passion for seeking beauty in our ordinary, everyday lives. Through her work, she invites others to see more of the beauty that exists in the world around them, in others, and within themselves. She considers photography a contemplative practice and believes that the process of seeking beauty and meaning through photographic imagery can lead us on a path to greater self-discovery. Shari enjoys photographing ice, fallen leaves, feathers, leaves, acorns, wildflowers, and other small bits of nature she finds around a lake near her home.
