The Pier Gallery Artists Collective is opening up a month early this year and so I have been working hard to finish some paintings.  This weekend, from 11-5 both Saturday and Sunday, my art will be for sale alongside the incredible creations of over two local dozen artists.  Why not pop in and see what we have been up to?  You might just find the perfect mother’s day gift (for your mom or for yourself)!  Speaking of, here are a couple of my new ones that might just fit the bill…..you will have to come to the gallery to see the rest (including some new card designs)!

tea party games night --- cuz the ladies like to let loose now and again!

from breakfast on -----fill the day with it!!

And now I must start painting for Artzi Stuff – just last week they sold the last couple paintings I had left in there! Perfect timing since I really love to create at this time of year….though balancing it with work and homeschooling and puppy and all the other stuff is a bit tricky!

hello spring

After weeks of frog song and a dash of summer-like sunshine (bare-toed beach picnics included), I was more than ready to welcome SPRING today!  How lucky I am to have a job that includes field work, especially on this first day that needs to be spent outdoors.  A beach seine with a dozen students (waders helped with the torrential rain) and a creek walk with fellow colleagues and fellow Streamkeepers volunteers too (mud on my boots, still wet and cold from the morning session but bubbling with excitement of plans to help the creek). Then home, exhausted, a grumpy re-entry…..balance found again with a home cooked meal thanks to my man and an after dinner spring painting session with my girl. I just peeled the paper snowflakes off the windows to make room for the new art, the new energy, the new season.  Here’s hoping it will be full of lush new growth for all of us!  Hello spring, I am so ready for you!

smile!The sun has been shining, the frogs have been singing and I find myself smiling a bit more freely….here’s a peek of a piece I made around this time last year when I was signed up for Lifebook 2014.  I  still have so many weekly assignments left to do and this time of year is when I seem to feel most inspired to create….maybe I will get some painting done this week. I have been getting some sewing done and will post about that soon.  As spring approaches, I hope you too will feel your creative batteries recharging.

when there are no words, when someone is in so much pain, when there is nothing you can do to stop the sickness, when you want to give them so much love….there is always art.  with this piece, made with so much intention, I am sending love and blessings to the recipient. may it give her some peace and remind her that she is surrounded by love, she is loved, she is love….

made with love
