In the summer marsh
The centipede plays rhythm
Frogs sing harmony!
Art Prescription: With all the rain we have had, most creeks and wetlands are abundant with creatures. The sounds of nature amuse me! There is a story in each moment.

Haiku June 19, 2013 Summer Ritual
Big, red, ripe, juicy
Fresh produce, farm to market
Tomato sandwich!
Art Prescription: Summer means juicy, sun-ripened tomatoes. I know there is a lot of argument out there with how to appropriately build a tomato sandwich. Some are strictly BLT advocates…and yes this is a good option. Others say mayonnaise is the essential makings of a tomato sandwich. Me. I’m a purist. Just a freshly sliced tomato on bread and I can taste the sun.
Haiku June 18, 2013 Peaceful
Cozy studio
Steady rain pelts roof, trees sway
A moment…deep sigh.
Art Prescription: Watching the rain fall, while I’m cozy and dry inside my studio is very peaceful. It’s the place where my dreams get to play!
Haiku June 16, 2013 Recycle
Recycled papers
Cut out like paper-dolls, make
A junk mail garden!
Art Prescription: Here’s a mate for my last “junk mail garden” piece. A fun way to recycle, cut your junk mail up into shapes and paste onto a surface. I’m using watercolor here. Paint and highlight your cut flowers, and draw some stems and leaves, and now you have a garden.
Haiku June 10, 2013 Wedding Season
June, wedding season
Months of planning, bride’s surprise
And so it begins!
Art Prescription: And hopefully for a long married life! Planning and orchestrating a wedding is a big deal. A fun, happy, albeit stressful occasion, for the biggest celebration of your life. Here’s my latest wedding invite design.
Haiku June 7, 2013 Rain, rain, rain!!
Creatures of the creek
A buzz with activity
Water rolls, rushes.
Art Prescription: “Raise your words, not voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.” –Rumi
Haiku June 6, 2013 Redeeming Factor
Redeeming factor
Occurs daily, harmonic
Serendipity!
Art Prescription: Sometimes you meet the right people at the right time and the right place!! Serendipity!!
Haiku June 4, 2013 Layers of Life
The spiral of life
Layers of experience
Forms the whole one you!
Art Prescription: Our experiences and genetics make up who we are and how we perceive the world around us. Relationships and communication are much more complicated than we think. Best we can do is to try and love each other through it all…
Haiku June 3, 2013 Storm Front
Dark storm front sweeps in
Meadow moves, chaotic waves
June rain soaks garden.
Art Prescription: Watching a rolling storm front move in is miraculous. Clouds constantly changing, wind picks up, temperature drops. The smell of rain coming…quick…go inside! Downpour.
Haiku June 2, 2013 Fledglings
Momma Mockingbird
Hunts, swoops, digs, catches fresh chow
Fledglings shrill in bush!
Art Prescription: The amount of fledgling raucous going on right now points to the constant job of parenting. I recognize the shrill cries of different species waiting in hiding for their next treat. Until they know how to forage on their own, baby birds are nurtured along by both parents.
