Artist Love Bomb: Talent is a myth. Dedication is a choice. Don’t waste your precious time wondering if you’re talented enough—you are. Be a disciple of your own practice. Keep showing up! #blueskyart #abstractart #collage #mixedmedia #mixedmedia_art #modernart #color #painting #artoftheday
The first six books of The Legion Series started FIFTEEN years ago! Four more left. 15 years taught me how to do cover art, book festivals, comicons, arrange music, & become a creator of epic worlds.

Mini collages! Always a fun way to warm up, get back into your creative flow, or just play. No pressure, no focus on outcome; just tear up some paper, grab a few paints, and have at it! 🤩 #blueskyart #collage #mixedmedia #expressiveart #abstractart #abstractcollage #artoftheday #sketchbook

Yay! It’s October! Here’s an apothecary bottle I made just in time for my favorite season, minus the cold weather, lack of sunlight, weird fall allergies, influx of spiders not paying rent to live in the corners of my ceiling, but other than that…😘 #blueskyart #artoftheday #mixedmediaart #october

Mental health is not a destination, it’s a journey. If you struggle with mental illness like I do, you’re not alone. It is brave to seek help, not shameful and it’s ok not to be ok.

A new start after 60: I became a dancer at 68 – and will perform my first solo show at 82
Christine Thynne was nervous about going to her first dance class. But at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe she will be on stage alone, doing all the ‘things I shouldn’t be doing’

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done.
My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it.
I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.
