Lately I’ve been listening to folk music 🎶 It started when I was invited to a dear friend’s home for a party and they had hired Anne Hills to perform. And I was blown away! There’s something about the human voice, when accompanied to guitar strings that resonates with me. Literally. I’m able to think,Continue reading “Art is Love”

Incredibly, success isn’t entirely in one’s own hands, in addition to experience & education there’s variables like self-confidence, timing and luck. And if luck hasn’t found a prominent space, make room for it. And of course be ready, so you don’t have to get ready. I’ve found out that art really does create community, soContinue reading ““Art Key””

Golden years. This was suppose to be our time. Kids grown & gone, but then I got sick & our world turned upside down… but when we landed, it was right side up & the other way around lol This is my story, my art journey. March 2, 2023 we were @newtonfreelibrary hanging my firstContinue reading “The Golden Years of Art”

So this happened… My art journey was revealed to me! Sometimes we forget all the bits and pieces that go into living life, until we meet someone, who helps us see ourselves, for ourselves.

How you fall is less important, than how you get back up. I fell ill in 2016, it took 4 years for me to adjust to my hearing loss & to accept that I will always need a cane in order to walk. I’ve found that laughing is better for me than crying. But IContinue reading “Hello Art, Keep Me Here”

Oh my, what a day! This one felt perfect. My family and friends say I’m a little too optimistic, but how can I not be? Or even better, why aren’t we all? In digital world where everyone is staring at their cellphones, on-demand and live-streaming, it’s important to remember to look up every once inContinue reading “Lunch with My Art”

This most amazing thing happened & it changed me forever. I’m so very grateful. Every once in awhile, Life Happens on such a massive scale that you have to stop to catch your breath. You wonder how it could’ve happened to you, how it could be so perfectly executed, when in fact you’ve been workingContinue reading “Gratitude for Art”

What if… we didn’t think of Wednesday as hump day? What if it wasn’t used as a signal of peak & flow, that then gives us permission to fall off? What if we thought of Wednesdays as we do of any other day of the week, but kept momentum going by a sustainable hustle &Continue reading “Wednesday’s Push for Art”

For those who know, Fridays are a big deal. There’s something extremely special about the day before the weekend. A time when making plans is the norm, exercising restraint in one’s spending flies out the window and a general lightness of being descends upon us, particularly after a long week. A Friday, unlike a MondayContinue reading “FriYah & My Art”
