About the Writer

Welcome, I'm Karla Beatty. For the past ten years, I taught drawing and watercolor painting to adults. But now, I provide books and articles for the creative community through my website called O, Sweet Nature. Sometimes, my work is about the arts. Other times it’s about creative careers. Ultimately, it’s all about balanced living and natural health and wellness.

What I love most in the world is motivating people to do creative work. Truly, when people create joy in a mindful life, the whole world is a better place. Follow Your Joy!

Karla is a writer of stories, articles, and features for the internet, magazines, books, and textbooks. She has been a lifelong sufferer of migraine headaches and researches methods of natural pain relief. After a BA in psychology, Karla began the pursuit of a balanced life with work as various as a NYC social worker, a white-water kayak instructor, a writer of children’s stories, a scientific illustrator, a maker of hammered dulcimers, a suicide hotline counselor, and more. Karla also has performed music and singing, practiced t’ai chi for 25 years, traveled extensively and studied world religions, written for biology textbooks, taught watercolor painting and drawing, learned ASL, counseled victims of crime, and played the fiddle....among other things.

Oh, I should add that most of the artwork in the SimpleTens website is my own!
