Woke. Crawled out of bed. Still breathing 🙏 After being a little silly yesterday, I’m feeling pensive today. I was just thinking… what were you doing? For me, my IG posts must be organic, being spontaneous is a big part of who I am & it’s indicative of what I do. Truth is, I tooContinue reading “Steadying My Art”

Stepping Outside Art
An artist looked at one of my earlier works and said it reminded her that “our lives are framed by our families,” and it stuck with me, because unlike our friends, we don’t get to choose our families. And I thought about what stepping out of that frame would look like. For me, being aContinue reading “Stepping Outside Art”
The Art of Conversation
Now? #amwriting✍️ A bunch of questions, answered in a ledger, filled with humorous stories of this life & #HowIGotHere titled: “How Many Folks, Exactly Does It Take To Hold A Good Woman Up?” Because I’m tired, part of my “Can We Talk” Series that will drop as soon as it gets picked up. Debating whetherContinue reading “The Art of Conversation”
My Art Journey… Pt 6 of
What if art, by its very nature- the use of our eyes as we view it, to make us feel what we see- also makes us feel empathy? And compassion? I look at the word heART đź’ś and I see the word “art” in it. Of course I’ve typed it so it would be easyContinue reading “My Art Journey… Pt 6 of”
Greeting Card Art
In celebration & Onward! Remember when Hallmark’s Mahogany card collection first launched? Back then the brand was partnered with Dr. Maya Angelou and it was exquisite. Her words graced the inside of your cards & the art work on the outside was reflective of the depth and richness of her words and captured the blackContinue reading “Greeting Card Art”
Shipping My Art
Excitement. Anxiety. Excitement. Whew! Packing up my painting for the “Salve” Exhibition at New Art Corridor Gallery. I’m so honored. As an artist, I must never let this get old. Feeling overwhelming joy & nervous jitters means I’m alive! It’s humbling to be invited to a curated exhibition. Last month I spent hours packing aContinue reading “Shipping My Art”
Sharing My Art Journey… Pt 5
Me at my 1st Group Exhibition September 2020. I want to use “circa” but I know exactly when this life changing moment happened. Back then I was so happy! I was invited to my first showing. And I sold my first painting and it was to a buyer over seas. I was such a novice,Continue reading “Sharing My Art Journey… Pt 5”
Sharing My Art Journey… Pt 4
I started to explore the world of art, not as a creator, not as a business, not as an admirer, but as a patron. I wanted to understand who bought art, why did they buy what they bought. Who collected art and who was making money from all that art being bought and sold. Sadly,Continue reading “Sharing My Art Journey… Pt 4”
Sharing My Art Journey… Pt 3
I started painting in 2016. By then I was nearly six decades old and had lived the proverbial “Good life”. I had been happily married for nearly half my life and I was a mother of two adult daughters. I could righteously say that I had “been there, done that,” and smile about my achievements.Continue reading “Sharing My Art Journey… Pt 3”
Sharing My Art Journey… Pt. 2
Long before I was a mom, I was a writer. And it would’ve been interesting to see where I could’ve gone with my dreams, but then life happened and I got pregnant, having lost a baby earlier in my life, I made the very conscientious decision to stop writing. I wanted to enjoy raising myContinue reading “Sharing My Art Journey… Pt. 2”
