5 years ago on a whim, I purchased tickets to Erin Elizabeth’s Art Alchemy. I remember happening to stumble onto her art studio in Lincoln Center as I waited for my ring to be cleaned at the jeweler’s next door. Her studio was closed that day, but I remember looking through the window and marveling …
We all have them … little paper bags with handles. You know, the ones you get from the coffee shop, or cute little boutique stores. They’re cute and I like them, but the amount I have is a little ridiculous. It’s wasteful to just throw them out so I do reuse them, and I see …
It’s Sunday and it’s a new month. I’m sitting here in my happy place, painting to my heart’s content! I wrote a piece of happy snail mail that I’m mailing out tomorrow! I hit the local farmer’s market this morning, drank some damn good coffee, ate a delicious pastry, I have no where else to …
Day 30 of my 30 Days of Creativity Challenge. The last 30 days have flown by. Just … F L E W! Incredible! Today is the last day, although in many ways today is just the beginning. It’s been an incredible day of painting and creating. I love it when I have days with no …
Day 28 of my 30 Days of Creativity Challenge. I meant to post this yesterday and … I totally zoned. I’ve been working and I just got busy once I was finished. I painted and then had to hurry and shower to leave for work in time. I could’ve planned better. But the truth is, …

Day 25 of My 30 Days of Creativity Challenge. Ever notice sometimes that you’re holding your breath? You feel as if the other shoe is gonna drop? Or feel, I dunno … like things are too good and it’s an “ominous sign?” My one swipe painting reminded me of this. Of someone looking for forgiveness. …
Day 24 of My 30 Day Creativity Challenge. I never know what I’m going to end up with when I start a painting. I’m not one of those artists that can picture something in their mind and get it on the canvas. I’m one who starts painting and who is amazed at what appears because …
Day 23 of My 30 Days of Creativity Challenge! My life is much different than it was 10 years ago, heck, even a year ago, or a week ago, and even yesterday! I’m always ever evolving, yet I’m still very my simple, cooky self. I know that better things are coming. I believe that because …
Day 22 of My 30 Days of Creativity Challenge. I used to believe that I lived this ordinary life. Working, raising my children, doing the parent thing while others around me appeared to be living lives that were “exciting.” Here’s the truth … I loved and still love my life. Even when I was single …
