WILD AT HEART

The heart is...at times big and bright, at other times made of string and playdough and other silly things. It is that which we seek in wonder, tug in desire and inflate with dreams, scribble with hope and imagine with faith in its' falling apart, in its' coming together, in its' ruin and it's flight we heal and trust the hearts' ability to return to being wild and free, sometimes...no matter what.

WILD WOMEN

Girls at any age seeking to live with volume & verve, to be outrageous & off-key, mismatched & mischievous, Are you a Wild one? The original Wild Woman creations were painted with acrylics on a handmade tissue paper from Thailand. This paper includes dried various banana leaves. An excellent background for my love of bold colors.

WHIMSICAL SOUTHWEST

Inspired by the ancient rock art of the petroglyphs, Glyphies were created in a contemporary Southwest style. Whimsical in nature, with a simple message... to celebrate our humanity. Glyphies will brighten any space. Original are acrylic paints on handmade paper.

CONFETTI CONNECTIONS

Confetti- {kan fet'ai} bits of colored paper scattered for celebration!!
Our connections are the confetti of our lives...
and we celebrate one another with colored paper!!

SCRAMBLED WOMEN

Doing more than ever yet in slower motion, we do what we want, accepting what we have to, (or not.) We live big and dream just as big! We have fun with ourselves and each other...We are growing younger and getting better! We may be all over the place but we are finally...having it all! (Sort of!)

THE ART OF ATTITUDE

Turning 40 changes things... not only could I not see at a distance, I blurred at anything too close. With a new midrange sight, my art moved from the sentimental to the smirky. ~ the art of attitude. Collage style of watercolor, tissue paper, acrylics, computer graphics and crayolas, the message is sassy & simple, "we're getting older ... let's get on with it"... And laugh more along the way.

BRAT CATS

Our "Brat Cats"... gotta love them... they do whatever they want, whenever they want without apology or excuse, AND they have an arrogant confidence to expect that ... regardless of their bad behavior, we'll adore them, pamper them, and cherish them a lifetime... Aren't they smart!

WHEN I WAS A PUPPY

After a lifetime in the "cat only" world ... a puppy landed in my lap ... certain she came from heaven.
I rediscovered my heart! And realized I needed little more than poetry, good friends and good books ... and to be held by a puppies adoring eyes!

POETRY

Who Am I? I am a teacher and an Artist by degree & by nature. I am a journal keeper committed to recording my celebrations, my struggles, my loves & losses- It's the air I breathe. May it give you wings!
