Where does love originate? The heart or the brain? Or is it something that we attract from outside of ourselves? Science tells us that all emotions including love originates in the brain. We feel the passions of love because our brains contain specific neurochemicals and peptides that create those loving feelings in us. There is never a conflict between the heart and the brain but rather between different parts of the brain, parts that specialize in rational thought, such as long-term planning, and parts that give our lives emotional energy. Lends support to the old term “head over heels”. 😉

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’ve been looking through The Looking Glass again…..actually I’ve been playing around in it for quite some time now. I had 22 images to share with the World and got them all up yesterday. Whew! I am getting ready for the Holiday season and promotion and custom work will be the names of the game for the next 6 weeks. I will not have much time to create new paintings let alone list them! So enjoy these NEW pieces until the crazy time ends!

I’ve always had a thing for circles. Every since I can remember, I would collect round pretty things. I would constantly draw them. I would intersect, separate or make a mosaic. And as a career artists much of my work features circles and spirals. To me they symbolize the continuity of all that the Universe entails. Everything is connected and returns to the starting point. For some reason lately, I have been seeing these beautiful mandalas everywhere. It’s as if they were calling to me to create some. I found some youtube videos showing how to make them with Photoshop but my brain just tuned out, but I did grab a few things from them….enough to figure it out myself by experimenting. Here are my first mandalas…..I was surprised by their striking beauty. I hope you like them too!

I’ve got a birthday next month and I will be turning 45. I’m not old, but I am also no longer young. I am in the middle….middle aged as they say. I knew my body would start changing in my 40’s but what I never expected was for my attitudes to change dramatically. My mental state is undergoing the most transformation. Things that used to drive me crazy, no longer do. I am calm and at peace in so many situations now that used to get me totally worked up. I am patient with my daughter. I appreciate my husband a whole lot more. I am just more clear on what’s important in life. I woke up this morning realizing that for 45 years ALL of my needs have always been met. Sometimes that meant peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and a game of Go Fish for a date. Sometimes it meant The Ritz. And there were times when I had to wait long periods of time to get some things I needed. I’ve had to work hard for sure and at times have enjoyed luxuries that as a kid I could only dream of. And also times where I had to sell everything I could to get groceries. My life has always given me everything to sustain me….in the good times and the bad. Right now one of the biggest changes I am feeling is with my art. I no longer see it as just a means to an end. Income. Don’t get me wrong, I like making enough to support myself and help my family, but I am feeling the joy in creating more and the satisfaction of making people happy. I am here to bring joy to other’s hearts. As history has proven, my needs will always be met, so I do not have to worry all of the time about making a “sale”. Here is to change!

I’ve been playing with The Looking Glass again….and oh boy what did I find! Who are these creatures? Red guardians over a sacred moth. My daughter said they looked like weasels. What do you think?

And then this guy appeared…a beautiful blue eyed fish. And if you look closely in the center you can also see a wise owl. Or perhaps you see something entirely different in these pieces….The Looking Glass is for your own imagination too. 🙂
