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.

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

I wanted to enjoy raising myContinue reading “Sharing My Art Journey… Pt. 2”

Never did I expect the level of success that I’ve gained from having put my work “out there”. Never did IContinue reading “My FaceBook Art”
Art & My Three Sons
I’ve no interest in putting people into pigeon holes. Aside from the obvious, that is they don’t fit, it’s also extremely boring. People are people and maybe it really is as simple as that.
Wall Art
A wall is meant to do more than just hold up your ceiling & divide rooms. There’s something magical about waking up & looking at a handsome wall. If you don’t have art hanging on your walls, go & make some, or buy some. But do get some. I promise you, it’ll change your life.Continue reading “Wall Art”

Her Art History
Her story. That hand on her shoulder, at times has been heavy. It seemed to hold her back, as much as it was meant to guide. So this happened… After raising my family and being a caretaker for my Mum who had Alzheimer’s, I’m living my childhood dream. However, I wasn’t trained to be aContinue reading “Her Art History”
