“Galactic Wave” | 18” x 24”
A visual reminder to tap into what’s ‘not’ seen. 💫
In the universal scheme of things, “all this” isn’t as huge as we may think it is.

Cold wax, oil plus non-toxic ink on cradle board.
First time making messes with ink, and then leaning in to the mess to create something unique.
Also, walking my talk:
✅ Make Messes.
✅ Try New Things.
✅ Have Fun.

Play time!
Yesterday's mess to calm my nerves, turned into a 24" x 24" cold wax and oil creation called... "Play Time."
Smiled all the way through this one. #goodvibes
See the heart? 💗

Today did not begin as anticipated - at all.
It ended well, but the 'in between', was a terrifying.
Once we were on the other side, I painted to calm my nervous system, and wrote this.
I hope it shines light and helps whomever else is needing to access inner peace and balance.

Mountain Dreamer was my first sale.
I didn’t try to sell it, I was sharing this fun art journey I’m on when I was asked if I would sell it.
Umm, really? Followed by - YES!
Mountain Dreamer got this party started that keeps on going. 🙏🏼👏🏼

Nursing a head cold and doing my most favorite thing (#artheals) - making the "first layers" mess! So. Much. Fun.
30" x 30" WIP (work in progress) I do love the blues. 😊🎶🌊

WIP. “When it Rains.” 12” x 18” Coldwax and Oil.
Reminds me of the Hoh Rain Forest area on the #OlympicPeninsula.
Painting this one for a women and girls fundraiser. 👏🏼
It’s not my style, but I enjoy trying different things. So there is always that. 😊
