Painting Hope
These are recent thoughts, I am still pondering.
I have several jobs that I love. I love to paint. Â I love to teach. Â I love caring for my long awaited little miracle – my son. Â Here are some thoughts on managing the studio with a young baby. Â I have had to learn to work hard in short spurts of time between meeting the needs of the baby.

Save some of your Christmas shopping for December 6th, and stop by and purchase local art or art class gift certificates! Â My studio, Studio B350 in the Stutz will be open as part of Splendid Menagerie Open Studios on the First Friday in December. Â Stop in anytime from 5pm – 9pm and see my new studio and recent work. Â While you are in the Stutz, see other artists who are opening up their studio, the Stutz Gallery with the group show Splendid Menagerie, and then head to other IDADA First Friday events.

Â Here is a link to my artist page on the Stutz website. Â You can also look at the other artists listed there.

Butterflies are highly affected by the sun.  On a cloudy day, they will sit in their cage with their wings closed and practically hibernate.  When the sun comes out, they fly around.  The warmth and light invigorate them. View more butterflies in my gallery.
