Haiku April 18, 2013 One Prescious Life

Go where the love is.

Wake up, jump out of bed with

A joie de vivre!

Art Prescription:  Are you living your life to it’s fullest? Do you stop and smell the roses, or are you rushing about getting from point A to point B without enthusiasm? Can you add some small subtle details to enhance your daily life? Just 5 minutes of noticing something beautiful, something that moves your spirit…

Haiku April 5, 2013 Rhythm of Life

Water feels like silk

Relish the quiet, just swim

Rhythm of the pool.

Art Prescription:  Loud people and places drain me. After a while of sensory overload I feel you could bounce a quarter off my skin. The perfect antidote to re-balance myself is a swim! The steady strokes and silence of the water soothes my nervous system. And of course – expressive art journaling!

just be you

 

Haiku October 18, 2012 Sketch Break!!

Light rain falls, grey sky

Sunset casts pink purple glow

Pumpkins smile on porch!

Art Prescription:  Busy day! Time for a quick sketch! Our days can easily get occupied by the demands of our jobs, family, etc. Taking a 10 minute break to sit quietly and look at the sunset, do a quick sketch, can bring peace and closure to an otherwise hectic day!!

Haiku September 15, 2012 Meditation

Sauna heat rises

I begin meditation

Some guy smacks on gum!

Art Prescription:  Sometimes it’s hard to tune others out. As I sat there though, eventually the popping and clicking faded away as I tried to focus on my breath. Working on several different mock-ups for a new collection…have not named it yet…what would you call it? Here is the pillow!
