Anonymous art show

I have submitted two paintings to the Anonymous art show.  Come out and join the fun on opening night!

Painting every day for lent....

I have decided to paint every day for lent again this year and this is the first one I have completed.  I don't have a name for it yet, but the colours are calming to me.  It is a similar style to the one that sold at my art show at Havana Gallery.  I have almost completed two more paintings so stay tuned for the next ones. 

Vision Board Workshop 2012

I ran a vision board workshop last weekend and I was able to do my own vision board for this year.  The swirls mean new beginnings and growth and is found in most of my artwork.  I put a picture of myself from a good friend's wedding before I got married and had kids to remind myself to get back to who I was before.  I placed family and an art gallery I want to get into on the same side to symbolize a balance between painting and family.  I put a bench outside since I want to have a garden one day.  Dolphins have always been important to me.  I remember when I went scuba diving and I was fighting the current but when I let myself go with the flow it was much easier.  I am hoping the dolphins will remind me of going with the flow with my girls and trying not to have too many battles.  I put it up in our bedroom and I wake up to it every day.  Let's hope good things will come from it this year.

Joy in the Midst of Darkness

This collection was created during a stressful time in my life when a loved one was diagnosed with cancer.  These  paintings show that joy can emerge from darkness, happiness can shine through during a period of stress.  I truly believe that art can flouish even in darkened time to reveal a light, a love and a knowing of the joy ahead.
