I am enjoying this time of year and focus on self and rest…the calm and the quiet, a time that we only find after the holidays rush.
It’s the Journey not the Destination

We have often heard the saying "its all about the journey and not the destination." The same applies to art. What IS held pure is the process, the time and wisdom gained from creating, and using the gift.
The Art of Possibilities…2023

The Art of Possibilities, neon installation
New Year, new you? Not new, but there is the art of possibilities…
This time of year I work on my annual plan that includes projects, events, and subtle changes I need to make for the better meant of myself and my ultimate goals in life. I've been doing this for over 30 years.
Blessings

Testimonies in Pink and Red, Sculpture of hand-painted paper with hand-made accordion book
As a child of the 60's, music has always been a part of my life. It brought forth words at times when I had none, echoed my feelings and thoughts, added to moments of joy and sorrow, helped to define significant moments, and provided an expression of emotions harmoniously constructed of musical notes and lyrics created by musicians.
Reflections

I believe every November/December offers us many signs and events to help us pause and reflect upon the year, our life and of our family and friends. It’s a time to give thanks, rejoice in our blessings, offer our love and symbols of love, and reflect on what we've done right and what we could do better.
