It's been an exciting few months! Retiring, moving across the country...big wonderful changes! I've also been working on a new direction with my art. David sweetly took a new headshot for me to celebrate a new website (click here) with all the details. Spoiler alert, I've been creating journals with my art on the covers and designing the interiors as well. So far one is available for purchase (click here). I'd love for you to see all that I've been up to!
More to come!! xo

Friends, I'm in the beginning stages of creating journals with my art on the covers. I've got a steep learning curve, which is a great opportunity for my newly retired brain, and I'm excited to share them. I'll keep you posted!

"Color, even more than drawing, is a means of liberation."
-Henri Matisse
Sometimes it's a bit of a challenge to see the brightness in life, particularly as we dull our senses in order to take care of ourselves. Each day as I walk my sweet Ellie Mae around our new neighborhood, my mind wanders from things that weigh me down to being drawn to the deep greens of the enormous Douglas Firs overhead, the bright red of the autumn turning Maples, and near the end of my path, the Roses of all shades that I pause beside to take in the fragrance...every single time. Color is liberation.

As we navigate all that is involved in moving from a town I’ve lived in since 1968, we are carving so many new paths, avoiding some, seeing the brilliance in others, managing emotions (and things!) throughout.
