I have been looking through other people's sites and getting so inspired! I love the art, the sentiment, the stories, the art, the pictures, the adventures, and the art. My goodness we are a bunch of grand creators let loose in the world to uplift, inspire and to add our own uniqueness to this vast and glorious earth.

I have a confession. I never really thought of myself as an artist. Yeah sure I enjoyed learning to create things here and there - but not true art. It started to change for me about 12 years ago when I led an art therapy group for women in recovery from chemical dependency. I began to witness the transforming power of art in these women's lives and the lives of their children. The way the women would take a hold of a given project and pour their soul into it. It started to rub off on me. I began to explore all sorts of creative outlets. I still not sure I would call myself an "artist" - but the lines are more blurry for me on that one. No, I know that I am a creator. The power of art is such that I am learning that just like a lump of clay or a skeen of yarn - I can mold and build and form my life into something creative, funky, inspiring and fantastic. And that's fun.

I am posting here for a number of reasons, some of which I know consciously and some are deep and hidden. I am naturally an introvert and using this format feels safer than dealing with people face to face (yikes!). I have been so inspired by other creations done by countless other wonderful creators that I wanted to contribute my own piece into the community. I am hoping that I can tap into a growing and evolving community of people who can share ideas, inspiration and heartache as we each build and celebrate our life paths.

Thanks for reading. I hope you enjoy my artwork and please feel free to write me.

peace, joy and yummy food-
