Tree limbs greet the morning haze
sweet cool air dance along the lines
shared spaces with winged creatures
The wind whips me awake, draws me in
I am aware..
I feel comfort..
I whisper thank you..

The world slips away
I let my imagination run wild and creativity take hold. As a young girl in school I would often drift off to another world, dreaming of imaginary people and places while tuning out the lessons of the day (briefly). Recently I have been fixated on change, imagining something different for myself. So I decided to take a leap, to follow a new path and forge through the unknown. Ready for new adventures.
Go ahead and imagine your own possibilities!

Come up for air
Where the wind will take me
It felt like I was adrift at sea too long, encountered many storms along the way, but the journey has been a thrill. The weather has changed, now my course is set, I will hang on for a bit longer and enjoy the view.

Walking around like
I will follow the path designed for me, it may be bumpy, unfamiliar and at times sketchy, but I will always be drawn to it. Own that path!

The real you please step forward
The masks we choose to hide behind become even bigger burdens to carry…. Know that you are enough.

The smaller side of life
The stupid moments of the day you wish you can just erase. Maybe hide, or submerge oneself entirely in a glass of wine, unlikely……. Instead I will try and draw myself there..
Pressures of the day can be demanding. Oh I will shrink myself down, down, down not because of fear, but to be one with nature, one with the leaves, grass, and flowers. I will submerge in the surroundings and be one with myself. Peace is restored.
Doodle: Pen & colored pencil on paper
Blocks tumble
The process of cleaning and organizing my art space helped to unearth inspiration from previously created drawings. The dust cleared and the wheels began to turn, and the urge to work on multiple projects began. My creative blocks tumbled and crumbled in an instant…. I envision more cleaning in my future!
Reused material and art: Cardboard cover of book, pen sketch, puffed paint, clear matte medium and a bit of dust!
A reminder
Crazy days, we work hard to keep balance only to feel like a juggling fool…..
Stop clowning around and go with the flow!
