The last thing I do before I send off “The Collective” to Tina Hirsig in Charleston is write my reflections about the work in our journal. It’s fun having this “old school” dialog with her.

Hello there my sweet friends, As you may know, every year I write Affirmations for myself. I use them to guide me in the year ahead. They have changed over the years, but I usually have one or two that carry over from year to year. “I trust my intuition” is one of them. I have always… Read More

This painting holds a lot of meaning for me. I started it before I moved into my new studio over a year and a half ago and only recently finished it. After my move I wasn’t in the same head space to return to it so it sat in my studio, waiting for that beautiful… Read More
A few years back my husband and I took a wine pairing class which we loved. It was SO fun! I mean who doesn’t love a class where you get to meet new friends, eat, drink and learn something new. Up until then I wasn’t too fussy about my wine. I pretty much bought red… Read More
Yay, it’s Jazzy June! Time to flip the calendar for SUMMER and get ready for the beach 🙂 I would love to take you on a little virtual “walk” and share one of my favorite places, Bluff Point Beach with you.
