Passion & Possibility

The Perfect Formula

I've been to a lot of parties. I've been to fancy parties and casual parties. I've been to big lavish parties and small town backyard parties. Not to mention that I love to throw parties. Let's just say I know a good party when I see one. So it's a bold statement I'm gonna make right now but just stick…(continue reading)

I Choose Joy

I really believe that happiness is a choice. I know we can't always control the challenging things that come our way but we absolutely control how we react to those challenges.  I've been very mired down lately in the push and pull of life. So many obligations, so many things scheduled and so little...(continue reading)

A "Wonder-ful" New Series of Work

I've been craving color lately. Color, color, color. As I start a new series of work, I am finding myself extremely inspired by the colors and the beauty of Mexico. The folk art, the clothing, the architecture and the culture are all speaking volumes to me at the moment. I'm calling this series "La Maravilla"...(continue reading)

A Clear Vision

As I start 2012 I am feeling such a sense of anticipation and optimism. I love new beginnings and clean slates. It feels like a renewal of sorts. My husband and I spent New Year's Day cleaning. I know that doesn't sound like fun but for me it was the best way to start the new year. Everything was orderly...(continue reading)

Intimidated by The Life List

I am an avid blog reader as I have confessed here before. A very hot blog topic lately is the idea of the Life List. Some people call it a Life List or a Bucket List or just "things to do before you leave this wonderful planet we call home". You know, all those things you've always thought would be cool...(continue reading)

Calendars For 2012

'Tis the season for fun artsy gifts! So just in time for the holidays, I've put together a calendar for 2012. I've decided to include 12 of my favorite paintings that I've created over the years. The calendars are amazing quality. They come with a sturdy wire binding and sharp digital printing on gorgeous...(continue reading)

Art On The Go

For me, being creative is something that feeds my soul. It's something I love to do and creativity in any form just always seems to add a little oomph to my day. But I don't always have the time or space to jump into full-on painting mode. So a while back I created a little kit for myself that allows...(continue reading)

My First Painting

For as long as I can remember I wanted to be an artist. But my art career as I know it today, really only began in 2003.  I had my own graphic design business at the time but I knew something bigger and more personal was calling to me. I was searching for my passion. That's when I met an amazing...(continue reading)

Life On My Mind

It seems like I've been in a whirlwind lately. Things have been busier than ever but also, my brain has been on overdrive. So as I sit to write this post, I think I'm just going to do a bit of a brain dump here and share with you what I've been thinking about lately. 1. When I Was 10 For Halloween...(continue reading)
