Big News!

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



This is the journal that is currently available. Click here.

Meow

 “What greater gift than the love of a cat.”

-Charles Dickens

We are so lucky to live with two formerly feral cats.

This lovely kitty cat is already promised to a sweet little baby expected at the end of May. I’m also going to use this as the cover art of a planner I’m creating. Stay tuned!

Jump Out of the Water

"When the water's too still, I start splashing around and things jump out of the water."

-Erykah Badu

Also, this piece keeps making me think of my favorite pair of argyle socks I had in high school. Did you have a favorite pair of argyle socks, too?

Color is a Means of Liberation

 "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.

Paths

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.
