UNFOLDING PASSIONS

Combining my passions to paint and write satisfies my spirit. Each process has unfolded serendipitously.

The painting technique was offered to me following the death of my infant. It was an immediate passion. I loved this particular process of cooking a paste, mixing it with acrylic paints, and applying it to paper. The key element for me is that there are no mistakes in this form of painting. There was so much freedom in letting go of judging something as simple as a little painting on paper!

Soon I shared the process with children and adults of all ages. I’ve taught teachers how to do it, girl scout troops, adolescent boys, adults of every age and ability, and everyone in between. 

Much later I realized that painting without judgment also supported healing my grief.

The years rolled by… I sat looking at one of my paintings, turning it this way and that, walking around it, and absorbing the colors and lines. I named that painting Empower. Words flew through me and its poetic story was born. I love the added meaning the stories give my paintings. It adds a deeper dimension, a fullness, and a beautiful layer to my passion.

And the process of painting and writing continues to unfold as my paintings are birthed to clothing, another serendipity!

New Painting & Story

I am pleased to share my newest painting and story with you. It is called Animate

Here is the Animate story ~

Animate…breathing life energy. This painting stirs the soul awake with flowing purple, harmonious gold, and opulent coral. Full-bodied, infinite, and connected spirit-self.

Animate encourages the viewer or wearer of the clothing to live with well-earned courage, motivated by clear passion, and a zest for living joy.

Riding life’s variety of waves from an abundant splash, a gentle ripple, or peaceful stillness. 

Live kind. Live peace. Live bold.

Animate supports our earth journey with lively motion balanced with centered serene calm.

Well, what is your experience of Animate?!
