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 marvelous, magical May! May brings so much goodness!

“While still in the cage of your being behold the spirit bird before it flies away.” ~Rumi I have fallen in love with many trees in my life but the one that holds the biggest place in my heart was at my grammy & Djat’s house (Djat is what we called my grandfather). Visiting them felt like… Read More
Happy New Year! Saying goodbye to 2015 comes with mixed emotions, but I am ready to embrace 2016 with love and grace. I hope you had a wonderful holiday season and found yourself light-hearted among the hustle. It’s easy to get lost in the hustle isn’t it?
