Could be anywhere
Bright lights, crowds, music, and yet
Right now I’m so here!
Art Prescription: Know what you need. Now…honor that. Simple.

Open Studio 2014 December 6, 2014
Open studio
Warm, bright, space where I create
Welcome friends, neighbors!
Art Prescription: Today was a cold, wet, rainy day! And my friends and neighbors still came out to celebrate my open studio with me. Thanks y’all!! For those of you who live a little far off…
Repurposed October 21, 2014
A life before now
Repurposed, a new pattern
Life, double helix.
Art Prescription: Many objects and patterns have multiple lives. A farmer’s tool cart becomes a magazine rack. An old bed becomes a porch swing. Old patterns cycle round…here is a watercolor take on IKAT.
Clear Your Mind October 13, 2014
Farm entrance, dogwood
Cockle-berry takes hitch-hike
Horses in the woods.
Art Prescription: Both of us in need of clearing our minds, my friend and I. I went and led Finn out of the woods, rode a bit. Then we both took in the calm that is the farm, to clear our heads and sketch!
Cat Nap September 28, 2014
Sunday, day of rest
A treat to get quiet, nap
Cat acupuncture!
Art Prescription: I’m not much of a napper, can never fall asleep during the day. I do relish laying down though and resting my body. With three cats, someone is always going to join me. Mocha, my tabby, will make biscuits for 30 minutes straight. Got a session of cat acupuncture and then up I went to the studio to play. 8 1/2 x 11 mixed media
Look Closer September 10, 2014
Perspective lesson
Things look different with time
With a brand new lens.
Art Prescription: Sometimes you just need to look at things in a new way…
Eclectic Garden August 6, 2014
Eclectic vintage
Mini-garden, place to rest
Pots of flowers, herbs.
Art Prescription: I’m caring for my neighbor’
s home and sweet cat while they are away. Today I watered their garden.
Simply Love May 28, 2014
Out beyond the gate
I find my breath, deep and full
On a white mare’s back.
Art Prescription: Rode Lacey today! Some ring work…my trot a little better…and then off into the woods and corn-fields. Lean forward going up-hill and lean back going down hill. I try to let her rhythm carry my body. Trust, let go and breathe. Folks this is big.
Recycled Art May 26, 2014
Cardboard piece, trash bound
A little paint, bit of glue
Two hours in bliss!!
Art Prescription: Sometimes it’s all about the foundation. What you begin with. And two hours later my muse is happy…
Split Personality May 23, 2014
Two worlds, artist, nurse
Some days my hat does not fit
Either, want to rest!
Art Prescription: I’ve been weaving my two worlds of nursing and art together for about 10 years…maybe 11…or all my life…which came first? I love both in many ways. Often it’s the transition that is hardest. What hats do you wear? Which hat fits you best? Fits your spirit?
