A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to see Elizabeth Gilbert speak in Milwaukee. I absolutely adore her and her writing. She is a HUGE inspiration. So I was completely smitten when I was called on to ask my question, “How do you decide or know what ideas to follow?” I got shivers at her answer when she said she believes ideas are alive....

Original Painting: Crossroads. 11×14″ on canvas. I have to say, I can never, ever paint the vision in my head. Whenever I try, I get frustrated, feeling like I am not a good enough artist. To me painting the vision in my head, stifles my creativity and doesn’t allow my true essence to come out. To me, the creative process is all about releasing whatever... Continue reading
“Drawing makes you see things clearer, and clearer, and clearer still. – Martin Gayford ………… Lately, I have been painting in blue. I was at a point in my artwork where I didn’t know what to paint. I felt like I was on the verge of uncovering something new. But everything I painted felt ugly. So, I went back to painting owls whenever I got... Continue reading

“The things you do for yourself are gone when you are gone, but the things you do for others remain as your legacy.” -Kalu Ndukwe Kalu ………. I just reorganized my studio, so I thought I’d give you a little tour. The main thing I keep in mind whenever I reorganize my studio and art supplies is ease. I know I hate to clean up,...

Lately, I’ve been taking the time to journal and paint each morning in my garden. It’s been a wonderful way to stay creative. And it’s really kept my paintings loose and free. I keep my main supplies ready to go in my kitchen so I can create any time (no excuses): a small sketchbook or journal, a cup of water and 2 brushes, a watercolor... Continue reading
Out of all of the mixed media painting techniques I’ve ever tried, the one thing I always return to is having fun with whatever it is I am creating. This brings joy to the process which inevitably gets infused into your artwork and makes anyone who sees it smile. That is my philosophy when it comes to painting. I know that when I am not...
