~art saves me~

art has been a huge force in my life for many years.  growing up, i was blessed with a mom who loved doing art with me and always had a project of some sort going on.  my dad took me clamming and fishing, camping and exploring all over the spoil islands.  my love for art and nature was set in place long ago.  
over the years my artwork has evolved in many ways, but has always been a sort of therapy for me.  i can get so lost in art.....so much happens and comes out when i'm journaling or painting, although i never really have a plan.  

i will be hosting another art journaling / collage "play-shop" 

on saturday, may 14 at porter's neck yoga in wilmington, nc...

come play with us if you're in the area~

"sending love, hope and prayers to japan"

"take risks and magic will happen...you will find your way in the world

when you let go and listen to your heart"

this piece is on watercolor paper and made for my best friend.

i added a little window over the words to complete it.  

the person by the tree is my mom when she was young.

"look into the window of your soul, your wings will take you

wherever you need to go"

wishing you all a beautiful week full of art and love~
