It doesn’t have to be a manic Monday. Take a moment to calm yourself with soothing colors and abstract shapes…Art for the soul.

Green is one of my favorite colors (aren’t they all…)! There is something about the way the sun illuminates leaves, spears and fronds. It’s a tropical delight here in coastal Florida. The plants are so lush this time of year. The succulent agave stand tall and proud. I wish I could adequately capture Mother Nature’s pallet with my paintbrush. This is a photograph taken exactly as this agave appeared in the bright sunlight….

Art is powerful. It has the ability to connect people who live on opposite sides of the World! It connects the hearts of lovers. It connects new generations with the past. It connects a home with all who live or enter there. Are you connected?

This time of year you can find me outside enjoying the beautiful weather and lush landscape that Florida has to offer. Don’t worry, the brutal heat will be here soon enough and I will be blogging more art. 🙂

I sell a lot of artwork. These days my print making partners do most of the shipping and customer service for me. However, I do still paint a significant amount of commission work and originals. One of the joys I get as an artist is actually “seeing” my work hanging in someone’s home or office. Not many send me photos, but when they do, I am always taken aback. Why? I rarely see my work displayed. It gets painted on my paint splattered old table and then hung on messy walls until it is fully cured and ready to ship. I am a creator, so that is what I do. My collectors are the decorators and as such it is through their camera lens that I get to see my work as they see it for the first time. It’s kinda cool and strange all at once. Right there is a piece of my soul hanging in the home of someone I’ve never met. But I can see it….yes I can.
This arrived in my Etsy inbox this morning. I did not do anything to their photo other than save it to my computer and upload it here. So if you’ve ever wondered. Yes, my colors are that vibrant in real life. 🙂

For many years I painted. I painted on canvas and I painted on yupo. That is all I really did. I was a painter. Eventually I got into photography and that was a nice change, but still something was missing. My patterns were stale and I needed to be refreshed! I still paint and take photos, but I am more than a painter and photographer. I am also a designer. I am an artist in every sense of the word. I have started seeing patterns in my photographic and painterly work, so naturally I am putting them together to create new art. Art from art. And what I love the MOST about this creative expression is that it can just continue to GROW infinitely…
Limitless……change……..growth.

This is my very first Labor of Love piece that I painted nearly 10 years ago. It’s quite popular as a print, but what most people do not realize is that this is only 1/3 of the painting. Because the camera I had at the time would only make a small print of the entire piece, I photographed it in sections. I now offer them as separate prints: Abstract 1, 2 and 3.
These works are indeed a labor of love for me and I pant them sparingly now by commission only. The sad truth is I can make a lot more for my time creating simple abstracts that take minutes to finish. These take many days and weeks to have a final work of art. It is one example of hard work not paying off. Unless you can sell prints…
I am delighted that the many hours spent making spirals and hand framing each stone in black is finally paying off! You can enjoy Abstract 1 for a limited time at a very low price!

When I was a little girl growing up in Myakka City, FL, there was a neighbor just down the road who raised peacocks. These creatures are surprisingly loud and when the wind was just right, our yard would be filled with their haunting cries. I would sometimes take the back pastures over to their farm. I had to go through a handful of barbed wire fences which is something I became an expert at. I would greet the cows being careful not to irritate any of the bulls. I would inevitably pick some wild flowers, but it was the sight of of those brilliant feathers I was after. The males with their jewel colored plumes always mesmerized me. Once in awhile I would get lucky and one of the fowl would have strayed close to the fence and lost a feather. This was the grand prize!
