Happy New Year! My word of the year is joy. I feel like 2019 was a hard year since my daughter was in the hospital and was quite ill. I felt like I wasn’t totally present in anything I did and it took us all a long time to recover. She is doing so much […]
Welcome to the new people that have joined my blog recently. This is a space where I share art projects, events coming up and thoughts on life. Today is for thoughts on slowing down. Sometimes when things happen in life it makes you change directions. I injured my back last week and it has made […]
I can’t believe it is almost the end of summer and the kids are back to school soon. I am excited about the fall classes I will be running out of my home art studio. The class is almost full so sign up soon! Here is all the information: Paint and Create like Famous Painters […]

You are a work of art. I truly believe that. You were put on this earth on purpose and you have talents to share with the world. I get so sad when I hear someone who is smart, intelligent and creative put themselves down. It happens all the time. The things we say to ourselves […]
