The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources.
Albert Einstein
Every few days I open an email from another artist asking me “how did you do that?” They want to know my techniques, my materials and…if I am not too busy…some personal instruction. I have never felt an obligation to share my secrets with others. To me the joy and fun of creating is to explore…try unusual things….find your art. Copying may be the greatest form of flattery, but somehow I never feel flattered when I see someone attempting to duplicate my work. It’s almost like seeing your husband with another woman. I feel violated. I developed my styles the hard way….by trial and error. I have spent many years marketing myself and building a strong following. My work is branded well and people recognize it as mine. So if you want to know my secret…it’s this….be your own artist….find your own voice….spend some money on a variety of materials and explore what is inside you. Be inspired by others if you must, but always be original. Like the quote above says “hide” your sources. Make your inspired work so much your own that it will not be identified as someone else’s. 🙂

Life pools around your heart
The buzz of hope
In every vein
Thump
Thump
Thump
A sinking dream
A flailing hand
Swimming
No
Just float.

People always ask me about my favorite color. That really is a hard question because I love ALL of the major colors and most of the secondary and beyond. Can I say that color is my favorite color? Actually, it is green. I’ve always had an affinity for this beautiful hue. It is so full of life and growing energy. It makes me feel healthy and alive. I lean toward the brighter shades up to lime green, but am equally comfortable with the rich earthy olives. It’s a versatile shade. I particularly enjoy pairing it with hints of blue as you see in my newest painting “Life Song”. In this piece I believe the yellow is “green with envy”. 😉

What is forgiveness? Wikipedia says: Forgiveness is the intentional and voluntary process by which a victim undergoes a change in feelings and attitude regarding an offense, lets go of negative emotions such as revenge, with an increased ability to wish the offender well.[1][2][3] Forgiveness is different from condoning (failing to see the action as wrong and in need of forgiveness), excusing (not holding the offender as responsible for the action), pardoning (granted by a representative of society, such as a judge), forgetting (removing awareness of the offence from consciousness), and reconciliation (restoration of a relationship).[1]
I believe it is a peaceful understanding that your health and happiness are more important than a painful event or the person that inflicted it. It is a letting go and a knowing that you no longer need to keep being punished by the past. That you deserve better than those memories. It comes from loving and approving of yourself.
Peaceful Understanding……

I’ve always been a dancer, but mostly behind closed doors. When I was young I learned how to square dance in school. But that kind of movement never moved me. I also taught aerobic classes for quite a few years and while it did involve some rhythmic body steps, it was not quite tripping the light fantastic. When I paint, I always start out with some simple jumps and steps to music to loosen me up. I listen while I work and take breaks now and again to get my body in sync with the melody that is currently playing. And I finish with my own type of dancing. To me art has always been a type of dance…..

Black Magic! I have really enjoyed creating my Black Magic pieces for many years and recently I discovered a cool way to make them even cooler. I digitally inverted them so that the black in the magic is now white. They look totally different this way and the effects have been very popular. These are now in homes all over the world. Black and White is so clean and neutral. These would look good in just about any space. Enjoy an old favorite in a new way!
