“Art is not about thinking something up. It is the opposite – getting something down.” -Julia Cameron ……….. Let It Be. That’s sort of been my mantra these last few weeks, especially with my artwork. These paintings on paper are really a reminder not to over-do my paintings. I was feeling like with my pieces on canvas, there were so many layers upon layers, that... Continue reading
“Nothing is impossible, the word itself says ‘I’m possible’!” -Audrey Hepburn ………. I love to take photo walks, especially through places I have never been. I’ve gotten in the habit of taking myself on field trips where I get out of the studio and go someplace new and explore. Snapping photos in those places is so inspiring and really keeps me looking and being inspired... Continue reading
“Worry pretends to be necessary but serves no useful purpose” ― Eckhart Tolle …….. My words for 2014 are bliss and stillness. And, it seems, adding more and more stillness into my every day leads me to bliss. I’ve been listening to Eckhart Tolle’s A New Earth and it’s a lovely reminder to get out of my own way. Sometimes thoughts and to-do lists seem... Continue reading

“Promise me you’ll always remember: You’re braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.” – A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh ……… I’ve noticed how much getting creative each day really brings me joy. To make time for it all, I’ve been painting lots of quick pieces on paper, which I am excited to share with you in my next online class... Continue reading
I have been having so much fun creating these digital collages with the iphone app Superimpose (something the lovely Misty Mawn turned me on to in her amazing Full Circle class). This is an example of a collage I created using the girl from my original mixed media painting SENDING STRENGTH. There are probably twenty layers in this version. And I love that the possibilities...

With all of my recent paintings and paintings on paper, I haven’t stopped to take photos of the process from start to finish. But this lion was different. This lion went from a flower girl to a giraffe before evolving into a winged lion. Most of my paintings on paper are very quick, so they don’t have a lot of layers. But this piece I...

“Do not wait until the conditions are perfect to begin. Beginning makes the conditions perfect.” -Alan Cohen ……… This is the January Bonus Project for my online course SERENDIPITY- A YEAR IN MIXED MEDIA.
