How do you like to start your day? If you’re anything like me you appreciate the simple pleasure of coffee in the morning. It makes getting out of bed and leaving my snuggly kitties a little easier. Picking out a pretty mug is the first creative thing I do everyday. Do you have a favorite… Read More
The beginnings of paintings are my favorite part of the creative process. It’s a meditative practice that is loose and free and full of color. I have no expectation for myself other than to practice trusting my intuition. I have been layering a lot of white lately and love the contrast of the bright colors… Read More
I’ve been doing a little dreaming this morning, thinking about all the things I want to create this year (and in my lifetime). Some ideas are totally realistic, while others are so dreamy and big they scare me. I’m trying to not get bogged down in the details and “the cursed hows”. Instead I am… Read More

It’s the place that inspired this month’s painting and is where I feel most at home (besides… Read More
This little tin can was a great find. I love how it complements my little apple painting. YAY for today! I think I am still on a high from my road trip to the Brimfield Antique Show last week! I go every year in May & in September with my friend Sue. We are giddy from the… Read More
Yay, it’s marvelous, magical May! May brings so much goodness! First there’s Cinco de Mayo, (like I need an excuse for a little Jimmy Buffett music and a margarita, right?), then the Brimfield Antique Show, something I look forward to every year, and finally Memorial Day weekend, officially marking the kickoff to SUMMER (at least… Read More
Just thinking about escaping to somewhere warm in the middle of a New England winter lights me up and makes me SMILE SO BIG! The week before last, when the snow was falling, and the frigid winds were blowing here in Connecticut, Brett and I welcomed the sultry trade winds on the Happy Island of Aruba. We… Read More
