About Me

My Photo
Landenberg, Pennsylvania, United States
I am a woman who has dreamed of being a famous artist as a little girl coloring in her Cinderella coloring book. I have spent many years as a painter but also experimented with sculpture, mixed media, graphics...even theater...pretty much any medium where my creative talents could find a place to flourish. I have been showing and selling my artworks professionally now for over a decade and I never tire of being a creative force in the world. I take so much pleasure in the fact that my work seems to bring joy to those who observe it, buy it, or just come into contact with it. I have yet to achieve fame, but I decided several years ago, that perhaps God’s plan for my work was something more intimate, something cozy and special to be enjoyed in relationship with my audience.

New thoughts as they trickle in...

Some belated New Years Resolutions....(It's still the New Year right ?)

#1 Done!
1. Buy fresh flowers twice a month

2. Burn more scented candles when I am home alone working

3. Eat dinner with fancy plates and candles with my hubby in the dining room for no special reason.

4. Eat dinner with fancy plates and candles by myself in the dining room for no special reason.

5. Clean out the jacuzzi and use it.

6. Burn more fires in the fireplace or pit.

That's it for now.. like I said, it's a trickle....

addendum: 7. Schedule one day a month on the calendar to  plan, dream, organize schedule and reflect on items pertaining to my art and life.

What are your plans or thought for making the New Year different or better ?

  1. I like your "resolutions"! My husband was the one to initiate sitting in the dining room instead of the kitchen a few years ago and it is nice....no fancy plates or candles yet though!
    I started my new year out with a new look for myself....still getting used to it!

  6. Your list of "resolutions" looks good to me. Pampering, even if you have to do it for yourself, is a "good thing".

  7. Great list. It teaches you to appreciate what you have instead of looking for "greener grass" elsewhere! I especially like the fresh flowers one. I used to wish I'd have them too. Now I do splurge occasionally and it does brighten my day. :)
