Art & Inspiration For Your Life
Last night I took some time to work in my journal. It was such a peaceful and renewing process for me. The perfect way to end a very special, very busy weekend. The quote by Emerson reads “Most of the shadows of this life are caused by our standing in our own sunshine.” May...
I’m ready to take flight! The next step in my creative and inspirational endeavors is holding an artist retreat next fall. I envision an intimate group of artists participating in a weekend journey that will take them back to the heart of their creativity. It will be a relaxing retreat away from routine and...
