I have been enjoying creating Mandalas lately.  I find them so relaxing and anyone can make them.    The word mandala is from the Indian Sanskirt language and means circle.  It consists of patterns that are evenly distributed around a centre circle that create a feeling of balance.  I usually start with a circle in […]

My mom passed away on June 1st 5 years ago and during that difficult time I used painting as my therapy. I decided to have a painting give away as a way of thinking of her. She loved flowers and always had them in a vase in the kitchen. There is also a saying about […]

When I was younger I tended to leap and I wasn’t afraid to try something new.    I was fearless.  I traveled around the world often on my own,  I went bungee jumping, white water rafting, I flew in a helicopter, I rock climbed, I did a marathon and the list goes on.  I wasn’t […]

I have become interested in labyrinths lately. A labyrinth looks like a maze but it only has a single path that leads to the center so you can’t get lost. When my daughter was in the hospital I discovered a labyrinth on the deck outside of the floor below where Claire was. I would often […]

I bumped into a person that I worked with a few years ago and I asked the typical question we usually ask people “how are you doing?” and his response was “living the dream”. Now I know some people say that but don’t mean it but I truly believe he meant it and wasn’t being […]

          I have a new obsession…..Gelli printing.  What is Gelli printing you say….well let me tell you about it.  My friend Sandra and I signed up for Book of Days by the lovely Effy Wild (effywild.com)  and one of the lessons showed Sarah Trumpp (one of her guest artists) with a fast paced video of […]

Happy New Year!  Every January I choose a word to guide me in the year.  I figure out the word in different ways. Sometimes it comes to me when I am walking the dog, reflecting on the year, writing in my journal or creating art.  Other years I needed to meditate and really focus on […]
