Early in the morning when the neighborhood is just waking up, the smell of blooming star jasmine greets me. A bird hops along over the soft carpet of moss searching for breakfast while a breeze rustles the tree leaves. I am always welcomed and comforted by the embrace of my yard. Here I can finally breathe, sit, and be myself without judgment. Even when neglected, it never judges and waits patiently for my return. With time, love, and attention we heal each other. *Sanctuary* - A culmination of the shapes, colors, and shadows of the yards I have created and loved.

I am excited to announce that my art was used for the Gallery Guide and the Postcard for the show.

A Look Back

My new studio space is still under construction. So, I thought I would post pictures from my old studio space. Hopefully, I will be a bit neater in the new space. Doubtful, but one can dream. I needed new headshots for an exhibition, so my photographer took a few of me in my natural habitat.
