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.....

Another successful session at Wise Daughter's in Toronto...

Mary Breen, owner of Wise Daughter's in Toronto,  asked me to come back again to run another half day encaustic card making session....it was a joy to teach, I had lots of fun,....So did the folks that came out to participate...Thanks to Nancy Donaldson who has shared her lovely artwork on her blog ..... take a look at her lovely creation here.  So there is some talk of having me back for a TWO DAY intensive sometime in the Spring or Fall perhaps......what a treat that would be....to really get into the medium and learn so much more, with lots more time to create lovely work.  I'm in.....
