I am a mixed media artist & abstract  painter. My inspiration comes from music and the beauty of nature. As an art journaling instructor, I specialize in helping people find and express their creative voice. I make my home in Northern California.

Five senses:
Seeing new growth on the trees, watching the smoke curl & ride the air currents.
Hearing the bird sing their songs.
Smelling the incense.
Tasting lemony, turmeric tea.
Feeling the cool spring air on my skin & the pen in my hand as it touches the paper.

Drink: Green Tea surrounded by art supplies on this rainy afternoon. #aprillove2018 #ilovetea #artjournaling
My walk this morning just before the rain #nature #inspiredbynature #clouds #water#sonomacounty
Note to self: woke up this morning with a bit of the migraine lingering from yesterday. So I sipped a cup of coffee slowly & let myself wake up. Perused some of the posts of my friends here, old & new, (you guys are incredibly creative!) & came away so inspired I had to grab my journal & write some things down. Writing it down reconnected me with how full & rich  my life is. The great thing I come away with is that I feel excited & inspired to live my life, not try to achieve some kind of “ideal” or copy someone else. We are all so uniquely creative & have something to offer. Thank you for sparking my heart. 💖🙏🏻✨#aprillove2018 #hygge #thegentlelife #connection #mornings
