The encaustic medium is magical, vibrant and translucent.  My creative muse guides, inspires and feeds my soul through this medium, mixed media and collage.  Blessing me with endless moments of creative joy and harmony...providing those ahhaa moments about life.  Join me on this creative journey, spend some time reading my musings about this life, the blessed other souls that come into contact with mine, however brief or often, that can leave everlasting imprints on our journey....perhaps our lives might share some similarities, bringing us closer and more connected...and less isolated.

"I suppose there is one friend in the life of each of us who seems not a separate person, however dear and beloved, but an expansion, an interpretation, of one's self, the very meaning of one's soul." ~ Edith Wharton

Here's to finding those expansive moments.....

Studio Share Bliss....

"New Moon Offerings", Encaustic Mixed Media,  18 x 18 Framed

 "Nest Song", 6 x 6, Encaustic Mixed Media

Last week I shared a glorious day with friends, other fabulously creative womyn in the studio...
It started with a heart to heart connection over coffee with a dear friend and then a day long creative day in the studio with five other womyn....
Days like this feel full and magical, for all sorts of reasons...
As I reflect on the day together, the main reasons this was a truly blessed day, is because I am reminded that in these womyn friendships, there are layers of complexities....richness, and sometimes even challenges...however, when we embrace each other with our truth, genuine love, care and compassion,  magic is created with each other...this is what I feel in the presence of these wonderful womyn friends.  We share in each other our gifts of self and wisdom, we laugh, create, and commiserate
when needed ...
I am reminded that though I love my 'alone' time, I do find perspective and understanding about life in companionship with others...and my womyn friends are the best.....

Thank you for sharing the space with me...and sharing creativity and joy.....

Your pieces are enchanting and magical. Your imagery is very eclectic and intriguing. The textures are amazing. I love the softness of the background. It's very delicate and elegant. Beautiful work.
