Welcome to the September Newsletter! I can’t believe it’s September. Summer slipped away while I wasn’t looking. It feels like we just didn’t have quite enough summer, but I could do without the 100 degree days. It’s okay though, it was a busy and fun summer and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. Honestly, I’m kind of ready for sweaters and and jeans. So, with that, Happy Labor Day and the end of Summer! Gourds What's happening in September Not much. And that is exactly how I planned it. We...

Welcome to the August Newsletter! Did July fly by or was that just me? All of the sudden it's time to get ready to go back to school, the mornings seem oddly cooler, and it's August! I'm not ready for summer to be over!! July was full of more coastal art, jewelry making, plenty of family time, and also a full blown re-brand! Just as the last hours of July were upon us, the last edits were being made to the website and branding kit. It may seem counter-intuitive, but moving away from a...

I also had a GREAT time...

Welcome to the Art Newsletter! Welcome! I've been wanting to start a newsletter for a while now. I already write two blogs--one focused on art and creativity, and another centered on energy work--and that's a lot of writing for me and a lot of reading for you. What I realized I was missing was a simple place to share announcements, new work, sales, and class offerings—all in one spot. This newsletter fills that gap. Here, you’ll stay up to date on what’s happening in my studio, get to know me...

Have you ever.... Been on an email list that went silent for so long you forgot you were on it? So when you finally get an email, you're thinking, did I sign up for this? Well, this is that time and for one reason or another (seriously, it could be Plexus, it could be art, or it could be reiki or yoga) you did sign up for this! It doesn't mean you have to stay, though I really would miss you. It just means that today, you have options. I'm sending this note to you, to let you know about a few...

Recently, I've been receiving huge nudges from the universe to share my gifts. Almost every day, I've found myself with some sort of cosmic nudge to do SOMETHING. I mean, I'm still painting. I try to create almost daily. I opened my Reiki studio where I offer Reiki in the late afternoons and on Saturdays. I have a book club, an accountability partner (actually 2). I want to start offering online Yoga classes for beginners. What else could it be? I meditated. I journaled. Finally, I realized I...
