Flowers, flowers, and more flowers blooming in my garden, the one bit of greenspace we saw from beneath our Chicago condo balcony, concerts on the square in Madison, WI. every Wednesday evening during the summer, and fresh cantaloupe juice, especially when enjoyed with good friends at vegetarian restaurants.

TITLE: Sing Your Song. Prints available in my etsy shop. Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about gratitude. For every compliment or act of kindness I receive, I’m trying my best to take a moment and acknowledge it. Since I started this little blog (first post on January 27!), I’ve had my heart touched ten-fold by your lovely comments, encouragement and support. I just can’t... Continue reading
TITLE: GIFTS TO BE REMEMBERED. Prints available in my etsy shop. Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about how everything we experience in life shapes us and offers us the opportunity to grow. For this painting, I played a lot with collage. I rummaged through closets and drawers and grabbed anything I found that made my heart sigh. I searched for things I’d buried in... Continue reading
Title: Serendipity. Prints available in my etsy shop. On any Wednesday evening you can usually find me at the movies. Brian’s alt-country band Ghost Town Council practices at our place and even with his new soundproof room (which means I can be painting in my studio while they play), I can’t give up my movie night. It’s the one night a week I leave open... Continue reading
Yummy dessert crepes with tiny umbrellas, lilies that somehow remind me of tigers, finding numbers on the sidewalk, super cute baby bunnies hanging out on my garden path, handmade peace signs on my neighbor’s fence, red headed woodpeckers, and beautiful blue painted owls. Continue reading
TITLE: Forever Young. Prints available in my etsy shop There’s a HUGE part of me that just wants to curl up and hide whenever I face left-brained activities like time management, planning and organization. I’ve been calling all of that stuff work, so of course it becomes work, even though the task-master side of me thrives on it all and feels like such an achiever... Continue reading
Since I’ve been having so much fun playing with all of my hand cut stencils, I thought you’d like to try one too! At the end of this post, there’s a cute dragonfly to download just for you! Print it out on 8.5 X 11 inch typing paper, cut it out and you’re ready to go! For my new paintings, I am using spray paint... Continue reading
TITLE: World Traveler. The Original Mixed Media Painting is available in my etsy shop. I finally signed up for a yoga class. I have this funny thing with yoga, that I’ve never liked taking classes, yet they’re always good for me. My first class was with this crazy drill sergeant type (totally not the style I take now). I literally got so nervous, I rolled... Continue reading
TITLE: HOPE. The Original Mixed Media Painting is available in my etsy shop. I’m kinda in LOVE with this new painting, HOPE. I painted it to express all of the freedom I feel when I acknowledge my wildest hopes and dreams, knowing they can become reality. I had so much fun playing with layers of paint, then spray painting on stencils, then adding paper cut-outs... Continue reading
TITLE: Give Me Wings. The Original Painting and Prints available in my etsy shop. Sometimes I wish I knew in advance what little events would turn out to be big moments in my life. A few years ago, I was living in Chicago, and happened to see Julia Cameron. I had a free evening, so I picked up the paper and looked for a reading... Continue reading
