In the sky and sea
Stars illuminate our walks
The rhythm of waves.
Art Prescription: Icons of bright-light and hope…stars.

Community October 7, 2017
You are not alone
A whole community waits
To embrace us all.
Art Prescription: It’s okay to reach out. We all need community. We all need to feel loved.

Winter Green January 2, 2017
Winter, green bamboo
Graceful leaves nod at bare trees
Secret hiding place.
Art Prescription: Have you ever come upon a tall bamboo forest in winter? A canopy of green in the midst of naked trees. A secret hiding place. Thick and tall. Sunshine rays slip in. Smells like vetiver.
Index card with watercolor and my chop that says, “hope.”
Forward November 10, 2016
We must move forward
Across the fields of unknown
In search of better.

Now July 27, 2016
In this moment, now
I feel peace, content, and safe
A mantra for all.

Shed November 1, 2015
As the trees shed leaves
So begins winter season
Birds sing renewal.
Art Prescription: As we begin the season of Yin, going into the darker days, I have a sense of renewal. Cleaning the clutter from the year…preparing for the holidays and my open studio.
Index card with Sumi-ink:
October Rain October 2, 2015
October comes in
With big buckets full of rain
Studio warm, dry.
Art Prescription: I love the sound of rain on my studio roof. So soothing as I lay down watercolor washes. Big clouds hover over North Carolina, but looks the hurricane is going out to sea. Fall is upon us…nice cool weather.
Index card with pen and ink and colored pencil:
Bird Song October 1, 2015
Birds sing in the rain
They sing in the sun, they sing
Because they have song!!
Art Prescription: I love Maya Angelou and have used her beautiful quote in today’s Art Prescription.

Pasture Sun Set September 18, 2015
On the other side
Of the pasture, the sun sets
Cool mist over ground.
Art Prescription: I went out to the farm to meet the farrier so Finn could get his “pedicure.” After two busy RN days, a chance to slow down and enjoy the horses was a welcome situation. I stayed until the sun began to sink on the horizon. Gazing out on a field of happily grazing horses is peace for my soul, beauty for my eyes, quiet for my ears, and love for my heart.

The Hand of an Artist September 17, 2015
Through hand to paper
