I am going to be in an art show. This doesn’t sound like big news as most would expect that an artist would be in art shows. However, after 10 years as a professional artist this is my first show. My career has not followed a traditional path due to certain physical disabilities that I have faced over those 10 years. I’ve never made an issue out of them and I never wanted anyone to buy my artwork out of pity, so you will not see mention of any of it in my bio. Even most of my friends never knew of my greatest issues as I suffered in silence. Some learned of it as I had times where I could not avoid telling them because it was severe when I was with them. Most of the time, I just found ways to cope so no one would know. My two disabilities were severe gastrointestinal problems and vertigo, both of which kept me out of shows and a lot of other things in life. I learned a few years ago that I had Celiac disease and I started eating gluten free. It has taken awhile for my body to heal, but it has to a point where I am now confident to go out and spend a day with the public without worries of needing to go to the bathroom often or worse not being able to stand or walk. It is not easy for me to share these things publicly, but now that they are in my past, I am o.k. with it. I am just delighted to look toward the future with hope and joy! I will post an invitation a week before the show, but it is the 5th Annual Arts In The Park in Ybor City here in Tampa on December 14th from 9 – 4. It is a juried show and I am delighted to have been chosen! Stay tuned!

I am back to The Looking Glass today….gazing in to see what I can see. This piece titled “Soul Star” has a simple soothing feel to me. I see a soul opening up…..a new star…..What do you see?
I am working hard this week getting ready for some much needed time off from work. 🙂 Thank you to all of my followers and fans for your continued support!

It has been said there are many roads but only one journey. I have always liked that. Right now I feel as if I am on an odyssey with my artwork. It is growing and expanding in directions that I never imagined it would. I see no limits to what I can do. I am also branching out from the traditional paint and list model. I am really getting into my digital work and find it comes to me with ease and joy. And best of all they are selling which gives me satisfaction in my work as well….I’ve got my creativity shoes on and will continue to see where this road takes me….

I have really been enjoying playing with vintage photographs and NASA images. Since everything is connected it just seems fitting. The stars surely shine brighter in Hollywood. 😉

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….

I believe we all have a dark side. Not evil, but a part of us that lurks in the shadows of humanity. An internal eye that boldly looks at the things that we are told we should turn away from. It isn’t all lollipops and unicorns is it? I find superstition especially fascinating. In some cultures crows are thought to symbolize death or bad luck. Conversely in other peoples they are are believed to be guardians of truth and keepers of sacred law. A sign of power. I see these shiny black beauties every day around my home. I do not fear them or their message. Step on a crack and break your Momma’s back…..my Mom’s back is just fine and so are these magnificent mythical creatures.
