CREATIVE ENERGY
A visit from my children and grandchildren makes one realize how much energy it takes to raise a family…… a lot !!! I see and feel the energy here in New Mexico with such strength it is interesting to find my children and grandchildren feel it as well. When my five year old granddaughter, Sophie, [...]
TAOS, NEW MEXICO
It has been a long time since I have blogged. Several thing have happened that I would like to share with you. First, during a regular walk with my dog Emma I tripped over a small tree trunk. Tripping while going down hill isn’t recommended. Not able to recover my balance I slid down hill [...]
THE STUDIO
Today I moved my furniture into my new studio. The garage doors have not been installed but plastic works just fine. Furniture in place, shelves awaiting organization…items holding their breath wondering where they will be placed. My first job was setting up the music. It now floats through the air dispensing peace to my heart. [...]
THE ACT OF CREATING….IS IT IMPORTANT?
How important is the act of creating to you? Is it a casual occurrence or are you driven to create? When you create do you feel a peace inside?

Birthdays should be a day you give to yourself the gift of celebration, belief in self while wrapping yourself in love. On my birthday I always give myself a gift. [...]
The Art of Giving
I can’t help but be constantly aware of the suffering in Haiti. It is beyond my comprehension. Now when I am irritated about anything I stop, breath and give thanks for what I have. I have become more aware and less judgmental of myself and others. The tragedy of the people of Haiti has made [...]
Love, Devotion and Spirituality
As I have written before I am in the process of painting Shelter Dogs. It has been quite the experience and I have grow personally and professionally. So how can a dog and the process of painting the dog connect with love, devotion and spirituality? Looking into those eyes….really looking, gives cause to reflect upon [...]
