Wow! “It's been a while”, is an understatement. A lot has happened!

I hope you all are surviving the chaotic times we are living in.

I have turned to creating smaller, easier to manage art after an unfortunate injury that seems a lifetime ago. I'm fine but my mobility is a little compromised. No worries, because I am loving what I am doing.

I've been making greeting cards. Tons of different types of greeting cards. First, I'm really excited about my original collage art cards. These little beauties are suitable for framing! There are prints of my original paintings. Others are photos of my art and photos of my local travels, that I've altered using cool apps.

Moving into smaller art has changed my perspective in countless ways. I'm learning to use trusted mediums in new ways on what seems miniature substrate. There are no large and sweeping gestures, simply fascinating details. Included in my new repertoire, are new mediums, substrates, and tools to master. And of course, with all the innovation there are new and talented Art Leaders to follow. My mind is packed and soundly challenged as ideas churn. It’s a crazy new world of art!

My next step will be to upload some examples here for your viewing pleasure. Speaking of next steps, I have many. I have re-activated my Etsy Shop, but regrettably it’s nowhere ready for shoppers. I have so much to do! I feel a bit like the Mad Hatter.

For instance; I've been doing an online workshop, Vision Journaling, with True North Arts led by Kathryn Antyr the Collage Diva. There have been many synchronistic miracles for me since delving into that workshop on envisioning your dreams. Here's just one. It's week five and Kathryn sent us the Wayne Dyer's, Excuses Begone affirmations from his site. She put them on ATC sized cards and posted them on the workshop website. So, I accidentally came across that deck of cards that I have been working on. I only saved the unattractive little things because somewhere along my rambling travels on the Internet, I found a lady talking about how you should make something ugly everyday. So, anyway as I worked with these cards trying new techniques and working with new materials I managed to make lots of ugly things. I would love to give that lady credit because as I ma...
 Piles of box neutrals!  Yummyness!
I was reading a blog that asked the question; "Who inspires you?". I've been inspired by so many! I'll list a few.  The links attached to the artist are just their latest videos. I hope you have time to take a look at what these fabulous artists are doing. Jane Davies Adele Sypoensteyn Everybody @ Stencil Girl Louise Fletcher Donna Downey Elizabeth St Hilaire Robyn McClendon This is by no means a complete list.  I think I will do more posts like this to honor all the artists that have inspired me and many others! Have a great day!
