We’ve been remodeling our home for the past 2 months and a new pool is going in next month. I’ve been so busy with the house, that my art has had to take a back seat for a little while. I am so ready for a Summer Vacation. Are you?

Is It S.P.R.I.N.G. Yet?

Spring cannot get here soon enough! And my latest piece of art reflects my desire. I believe we’ve had our last chill here in Florida. Enjoy the sights of the season! Screen Shot 2016-02-26 at 9.43.33 AM

It’s “reclaimed” art!

The image you see below was created entirely from previous works! I’ve always been intrigued by the concept of “reclaimed art”, but there are certainly no rules to follow. Who says you have to trudge through garbage dumps or abandoned junk yards? It doesn’t have to be wood or metal. One of my favorite things to do is to go exploring through files of past works until a new idea emerges. It’s like a cool puzzle where I am putting together pieces of the past to form the present. It is an “Absolute Joy”!

With the recent passing of Maya Angelou, I was inspired to go through my books and find a few of hers for a reread. A favorite is “I know Why The Caged Bird Sings.” It has been said that a caged bird sings because it wants freedom. I’ve had a bird and he sang whenever he was in his cage, but he also sang when he was freely moving around my home. He sang on my shoulder as he nuzzled my ear. He sang when he was having his bath. He even sang when he was eating. In fact, the only time he didn’t sing was at night when I would cloak his cage in darkness. Only then did all go quiet. I believe we are all like birds. We sing because we must. Whatever your song is be it art, music, writing, cleaning, building things, dancing, speaking, etc. it is something that you MUST do. A deep yearning within that moves you without thought. I do not ask myself why I create art. I simply do it.

Rest In Peace Maya…
