“Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.” Thomas Merton
To me, Doing Art has always been magic. We take color, line, and an idea, and go into a different place. This is an Inner Journey, away from the cares of the world. In this sacred sanctuary, we hear whispers of intuition, develop trust in our Selves, and allow instinct to guide us on the Path. It’s an experience unlike any other. It’s Art Magic, Art Alchemy that’s good for your body, heart and soul. It’s healthy, fun, and necessary!
Art has sustained me through divorce, single parenting, caring for my mother in hospice, moving half way across the country, and finding myself again and again. I know it can do that for you. No matter what you’re going through, art can be the light in the dark forest. Keeping on track is the key. Often, we leave our art behind when we need it most. Come back to art, and find yourself again. Doing Art is the truest expression of your soul.
I’m an artist and art teacher, originally from Chicago, but now living in the beautiful woods of Connecticut. I married a fellow art teacher, and have one married daughter, also living on the East Coast. Art is my passion, my escape, my refuge in a storm. I enter my studio sanctuary, away from the noise of the world, and dive deep into the inner journey. Inspiration and imagination live here, along with peace, love, and kindness. I’m so grateful for this gift and invite you to experience the same.
Doing Art Makes Us Human.
Everyone is an artist. We are born to it. The best art is a personal expression of your soul. It’s fun, easy, and flows naturally.
One thing I know to be true, making art is a sacred act. Creativity needs time and space to blossom. Let this be your place to rediscover your gift, create art monthly, and keep to the path of the heart. I’m creating this site to keep us all on the true path of our own unique, original, authentic expression.
Be the visual storyteller of your life. Record this moment in time. Be in the present as we each create memories for life.
Learn from my experiences. I’ve taught art from high school to adult ed, everything from painting to jewelry. I had a successful art career doing art fairs around Chicago for 9 yrs before moving to Connecticut. I’ve rediscovered my Self and my Art through it all. Two of my images were featured on book covers with Llewellyn Publishers.
There has never been a better Time to discover your personal style, unique Voice, and creative spirit. The World needs your artistic gifts now more than ever.
Let me be a guide on the journey. Take your art wherever you desire. Create again. Play again. Learn new techniques, take old ones deeper. Be supported, encouraged, and inspired all along the way. Come Paint with me. Follow a success path, and create a strong body of art, as you play again.
Making Time for Art is Your Gift to Your Self; Making Art is Your Gift to the World.
