I am a seeker, finder, and a gentle reminder. My goal is to become one wise old crone with a laugh like dancing stars and an all encompassing heart shining through the darkness.

Original art, words, & photography by me.

I was only able to upload four photos in that last set. I didn’t expect to play in the sand in the freezing temperatures, but I couldn’t resist.

The Ohio River was above its banks again. The beach moved up with it. The sand is deep. I also noticed that something I usually see out in the water (marked with the blue circle) washed ashore. Those river mussels are pretty cool!

This piece was created for my 365 project paying homage to trees. It is a photo of a paper cut tree on a wooden desk which has gone for a dip in digital magic.

“Puttin’ on the Ritz” - Day 5 #Februarty #ArtYear

I think we could all use a little om soup right about now. This piece was part of my 365 project where I paid daily homage to trees.

This is a digital art piece created by using a Campbell’s tomato soup can and Ritz crackers to form a tree. The can is used for the trunk of the tree and has been crafted in order to read “om soup”.
