I Choose You…Again

One thing this social distancing and at home isolation has shown me is that I made the right choice in my life companion.  I expect some people will learn the opposite during this time of crisis and forced intense togetherness.  As my husband has now spent every single day at home with me in the last two weeks, it would be easy for nerves to get sensitive.  We are used to him working away from home 4 to 5 days a week.  But this has not happened.  We are enjoying spending more time together when not working.  We puzzle, pull weeds in the garden, cook, clean, kayak, take the dogs for walks, bike ride, fish and read together.  We’ve always done these things, but now we are doing them A LOT more and every day.  I am having a great time and feeling healthy and strong.  I realize that there is no one else I would want to spend this much time with.  I chose wisely.  This post is dedicated to my husband, William, I choose you…and I would again and again…

Maybe money can’t buy you love, but it can get you a super unique and serious statement piece for Valentine’s Day!

Have you ever thought of the many ways that art can be used as gift? Sure, you can just give someone a print. But you could also…Write a love poem on the back….or your “couple” song…Write a marriage proposal and tape the ring to the back of the canvas….or just a love note that says exactly what you feel for your beloved. Use a beautiful art piece as the focal point for a photo collage of you and your honey. Put the art in the middle of the wall and surround it with loving memories.

Dare to be different this year!

“Comfort”

Screen print from etched acrylic and ink.

Circa 1992

ComfortCloseThis piece is definitely a one off by me.  It started as an etching on a hard acrylic sheet that was then inked and pressed on a screen press.  I remember the acrylic being very difficult to scratch into.  I still have the block and the original sketch to this piece.  A rare find…

People often ask me about what pieces of art I have in my own home.  I not only create, but I also collect.  I have some amazing pieces from all over the World.  Paintings and sculpture.  Fine art from artists from Canada….Australia….Japan….France….The United States…and more.  I am highly eclectic in that if I see art that I love and can afford, I just buy it.  I do not worry about whether or not it will match the sofa.  It matches my soul.  The piece above titled “We Make A Family” was painted (by me) around 10 years ago.  It symbolized me, my husband and our daughter and the bond we share.  It hangs over my bed and I sleep under it every night.  Enjoy!

Love Has No Fear

There is no fear in love. Perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment.  Love has to do with acceptance and protection.  This is not something I understood growing up…..I had to learn what healthy love meant. Once I did…..my whole world just opened up.

This piece of art started as an acrylic abstract on Yupo.  Many months later I saw a cliff in the painting and the idea of a tree came to me which then evolved into a symbol for true love.  It is a mixed media piece that combines three elements (background, tree and heart) created separately and then beautifully married on the computer.  The results are very satisfying to me.

The Wonder Years….

Are you trying to hold on to your youth?  Your children?  A dysfunctional family?  A job that isn’t right for you?  A marriage that doesn’t work?  That D you got in trigonometry in high school?

So many of us cling tightly to what is familiar or comfortable.  Others bind themselves to the past and allow it to punish them for their entire lives. Change is scary.  Some just cannot picture a life different than the one they currently have.  I have learned that the harder you grasp something, the more it hurts when it slips away from you.  The secret to life is “letting go”.  Also known as acceptance.  This has nothing to do with giving up and everything to do with knowing when it is time to move on.

I had a few years of uncertainty and fear as I moved into middle age.  I was panicked at the thought of my little girl out in the big mean World all by herself. My marriage had a major hiccup one Summer and I was not sure we would make it.  I noticed that I was starting to lose the interest of men when I walked into a room.  My body and face were aging and I did not know how to handle it. I was also very confused about what I wanted to do with my business.  I considered shutting it down and taking a different path by getting back into Holistic Medicine.  I call those years “the worry years”.

Slowly I started to realize that I could not hold onto all of those things that I wanted to remain the same.  More importantly, I did not want to. I discovered it was safe to let go and just celebrate where I was headed.  I was not only physically different, I was also mentally and emotionally transformed.  At 45 I am now excited to watch my daughter leave for college and blossom into her own life.  I will not be keeping her bedroom as a shrine where I can focus on the past.  Instead it will be converted into a sanctuary for yoga and thinking. She will be welcome to visit anytime, but I will use that space for mediation.  I have learned to work “with” my partner instead of “against” him as we weather life’s bumps.  I am less selfish.  I have also decided that I will not be artificially preserving my youthful face.  It’s gone and no amount of face lifting, injecting or sand blasting is going to bring it back.  It’s o.k. to have wrinkles and fine lines.  In fact, if you allow yourself to let go of what society dictates is beautiful, you can actually admire them for what they really are: signs of a life that has endured numerous storms and celebrated many triumphs.

As for my career that is still being pondered.  I have a few new ideas about what direction I would like to move in. But whatever I decide, the process leading up to it will not be fraught with anxiety.  No, these are truly “the wonder years” for me.  The dictionary tells us that “wonder” means:  a feeling of surprise mingled with admiration, caused by something beautiful, unexpected, unfamiliar, or inexplicable.  And that is exactly where I am.  Bring it on life!
