Well, I wish I could call them that, but weekends are spent on doing things I really love to do, or more likely, catching up with chores I wasn't able to get to while working. That also means spending more time in the studio, reorganizing my closets, painting the kitchen walls or cabinets, and a… Continue reading Lazy Sunday Afternoons

Iconic Impressions
My Iconic Impressions class is now $40 off! It was one of my favorite classes to create and I would like to think that the subject is timeless. I would often venture into our past for inspiration for my art and I have learned that much of what was visually created around us is very symbolic in nature,… Continue reading Iconic Impressions
The Seduction Of The Goddess
It seams that I have been fascinated with the goddess for many years now. At first I thought she was sort of a muse for my paintings, but now I thing she has turned into a constant companion that won't leave, and she enters my dreams and imagination. The goddess has become not only an… Continue reading The Seduction Of The Goddess
Artemis
It happened probably the first week of January. My decision was to create a new journal that I have purchased some time ago last year for that purpose. I love thick moleskin journal, soft cover and the size that would be easy enough to cary around. My intention was to journal every day and note… Continue reading Artemis

The Rising of Venus
Couple years ago I created a year long online class that delved deeper into finding the symbolism and history of Illuminated Pages from the perspective of art. And in that process I found some truly amazing hidden knowledge that I was not aware of. Well, maybe I should explain, maybe it wasn’t so hidden, but… Continue reading The Rising of Venus
For the New Year
And this New Year, on this beautiful sunny warm day, I let myself go free, I did it. I did it before, but this time is for real, and the page I opened up this morning proves it….. - Excerpt from Women Who Run With The Wolves (Clarissa Pinkola Estes) Trying to take shoes off,… Continue reading For the New Year
Serendipitous Moments
Last week we celebrated with yet another Friday around the Holidays with an Invitation Night in Newburyport. For three Fridays before Christmas the stores open their doors inviting their costumers to rejoice in gift giving - and buying with food and drinks. The streets are flooded with visitors and there is literally no place left… Continue reading Serendipitous Moments
