Summer mornings
Hey summer, I know you have been around for a while now, but I want to sit with you a bit before you go. So don't rush out. Take your sweet time. Okay?
I love fall but I am not ready to let summer quietly leave. This past week I put an extra blanket, towels and chairs in the back of the Jeep for when the beach calls me.

Starting is enough
On a cold spring day, a note arrived in my email that felt like summer.
"Your art is beautiful, heartfelt and was exactly what I needed this morning as I continue to try muster up the courage to commit to being a full time artist rather than just a part-time creative soul."
Thank you Michelle. Your email meant so much. It makes me really happy to think that my creative journey inspired you and maybe others.
And it is a journey. Sometimes it is full of sere... Read more →
