always the questions...

Where does inspiration come from? How does sun light up a shape, draw attention to a tiny speck, bring energy and brillance to a scene? Where does a strong line need to set off something that moves us? What color does that emotion evoke? But beyond all that is how the source is speaking to us....what inner place is being coaxed forward? What piece of me goes into this painting? What can I inspire in others? I love how closely life, love and art are dancing in my life right now. What inspires You? Other news.... my husand surprised me with the opportunity to hear the Dali Lama speak next month. I can't tell you how excited I am about THAT. Talk about spirituality and art intermingling... what great opportunities lie ahead to explore this more fully.

the journey

The link between love and art seems quite clear to me....love of life, people, places and adventures - all the experiences of a lifetime provide such rich material from which to craft art. I'll share the journey with you and hope to hear about your journeys as well. I have enjoyed creating and designing all my life, but it's only been in the past few years as I've turned my attention to drawing and painting that my passion for making art has taken me in a totally new direction. Whatever ignites that kind of a passion in a person must be all good, right? Illuminations....illuminating.... art is life life is art
