Life is a series of changing directions, regrouping and moving forward. I have done this time and again. But haven’t we all?

     One never ending thread throughout life’s changes for me is the creative constant. It exists and persists daily, for which I am most grateful. To have a bright new canvas just waiting for the mountain of ideas that I need to whittle down to one, the smell of the oils when I mix them on the palette, the excitement in placing that first brush mark - all seem to culminate into that wonderful dimension of perfect tranquility. Location matters little when your soul is soaring while creating. It’s finding that happy place in your heart, the place to go to unwind and refuel even for a short while.

     The same creative energy shows itself in so many ways other than 2 or 3 dimensional art. The act of gardening, writing, woodworking, baking.....all life affirming, be it self taught or following years of learning.

     Here’s to art in all it’s forms and beauty... let’s all do our best to contribute to a more lovely world!
