This has never been more true than it is for me now. As my daughter explores the world on her own, living away from the nest, I find my heart lurking in the shadows. It is amazing how much more a text means! Or when she “stops by”. 🙂 Here’s to all of the moms whose babies have spread their wings!

I’ve always loved baby feet and now I’ve combined my color fusion heart with adorable infant footprints. So cute! And this piece can be fully customized just for you and your little bundle of joy. I can add name, birthday, size/weight, etc. You can send me a jpg file of your own baby’s feet and I will create a one of a kind keepsake just for you. Perfect for all parents, moms and dads. Great gift idea for the mom to be too! A unique baby shower gift. Also would make a beautiful memorial for those that have lost. Please contact me for more information.

happy mother's day, healing the inner child, holiday, inner child, losing a child, losing your mother, may 11, mom, mommies, mommy, moms, mother, mother's day, mothers, politically correct
Althea and Mommy Circa 1999.
No Mom? No kids? No worries….
In this day of politically correct language, it is hard not to offend someone at any given holiday. Mother’s day is no exception. If you say “Happy Mother’s Day” to someone who has lost their Mom or child, they may be hurt. If you say it to someone who has no children and never wanted them, they might be indignant. If you say it to someone too young, too old, too whatever, there is a risk.
Due to the complexity and differences of a mother’s social, cultural, and religious definitions and roles, it is difficult to designate a globally acceptable definition for the term. So I am saying “Happy Mother’s Day” to ALL women regardless of your biological Mother status. Why? Because we women are all “Mothers”….each and every one of us. Whether you nurture yourself, a partner, care for an animal or just support a friend, in my heart I see you as a beautiful “Mother”.
My biological Mother is still living but absent from my life. But that does not mean that I cannot celebrate this day fully with my own child. In my life, I am my own example of what being a good Mom is…I am always grateful to have broken the chain of abuse that has riddled my family. Being a Mother has both humbled and elated me. I am more patient, compassionate and loving for having had a daughter. To me being a Mom = Better Person.
Happy Mother’s Day to all of you MOMS out there!!

I don’t just sell art. I form relationships with my collectors. I bring people together, make a house a home or an office a welcoming place. I create and inspire.
A few years ago one of my collectors contacted me with a very special request. She said it took her many months to get up the nerve to ask because she thought I would say no. Her Mom had passed away and she wanted to do something special with her ashes. She wanted to know if I would be willing to incorporate some of her mother into one of my pieces. A commission based on “Fire Over Copper Lake”. I did not hesitate and said yes.
I was soon touched to learn that we shared a Native American ancestry. Her Mom was a healer in this life and touched many souls. In my lifetime I have had a spiritual guide named Ama which means water in Cherokee. The piece I would be creating had to do with a “lake”…or water. Her mother’s Indian name was “clear water”. Creating this memorial painting felt more than right for me….it felt like a homage to my own spiritual mother as well. She arrived in a beautiful pouch surrounded by the sweet smell of sage. I handled her with care and blessed her ashes before I mixed them with the paint. The piece turned out beautifully….my collector was moved beyond words…and I like to think that a few ashes are here in my studio still and that Ama is with me always…..
