The Statue Of Liberty.  Liberty is defined as the state or condition of people who are able to act and speak freely.  It is a right we enjoy in the United States.  It is a right denied to so many in the World.  For some it is a target for their hate.  My heart goes out to all of my brothers and sisters in Orlando, Florida who are processing a horrendous act of terror.  To those who lost their lives for simply living in this beautiful country and enjoying our freedoms.  We do recover.  We do overcome.  We share the American sprit…

I am one of those people who gets focused on one thing and I cannot let go.  “A dog with a bone” as one of my friends likes to say. Even though I am preoccupied with Society 6 at the moment, my work is still going places. Namely to Michigan, New York and Massachusetts. 🙂  I have been to two of these states so far and plan to pick up New York on my way to Canada soon.

Where are YOU going?

More maps are on their way including some fun country pieces.  I love creating these as they combine my love of color and my attraction to interesting shapes. 🙂

Stay tuned for the next adventure!

I’m Tying One On…

No I am not drinking on the job. 😉  But I am playing with men’s neckties.  I’ve always had a fascination with these fashionable little pieces of art ever since I was a girl.  Let’s face it….for the most part men’s clothing is boring.  Sure, if you live in Milan and are a part of the fashion scene, there will be a lot of variety and flair.  But for the everyday man it is pants, shirt and a belt with very little color or pattern.  The only real way to jazz it up is a tie.  Ties are pretty.  Gay or straight, it is one way that men can show some artsy beauty without being judged by society.  

In this piece cumulatively titled “Tying One On” I am not only showcasing the beauty of men’s attire, but also showing a little humor.  

“Friday Morning”………….straight and ready for work:

What do you think of when you think of “apple”?  A computer?  New York City?  Mom?  A teacher?  Someone you love?  We are pretty big on apples here in the United States.  We have Apple computers….an iconic city….a beloved professor…..the apple of our eye….and let’s not forget…..PIE!!….Busy bee here, but today I offer you an apple.  It has gotten cold here in Florida, so I think I will make some hot cider….apple of course!

We Do Not Forget…

It is interesting (and tragic) that human minds can remember horrors in such vivid detail….I was at a local Mall doing Senior Mall walks for UCH Hospital….We had not even finished our first lap when someone came by and said a plane had hit a building in NY. I remember thinking it must have been a small plane that got off course somehow and that it was terrible. Then someone else came by at a very fast pace and said that two had gotten hit. I instinctively knew this was no accident. I ran to my car to turn on the radio….as I listened…long before we knew what actually happened…in my gut I knew it was really bad…I just wanted my child (she was in kindergarten at the time)….so I rushed to her school to get her…me and 1000 other parents frantic to find our kids…One of the most poignant moments for me was when we all took our kids back to school a few days later…one of my daughter’s friends was Muslim….me and her Mom chatted often….when we got there, I spotted her…she was not wearing her head coverings…her husband had told her not to because he was afraid she would be targeted for violence…we just hugged and wept….I wept for all of the victim’s families and friends…I wept for innocence lost….and I wept for everyone who had to hide their beliefs for fear of violence.

I am playing around in “space” again.  I love the abstract nature of our Universe and I am always amazed and inspired by the imagery sent back to us from NASA.  This piece depicts our Statue of Liberty with an active chaotic nebula as a foreground.  She stands through it all….

She Stands:
