Evening Heart

I’ve had a relaxing day today, after a week of intense activity. I’m needing space to just BE. After days of much communication, parties, events, people… the best I could do today was to spend several hours on the couch in the afternoon sun reading “The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood”, which is a [...]

Sunspot and Sunshine

“Sunspot” was inspired by the energy of the sun itself. I saw some fantastic photos of the surface of the sun at the Griffith Park Observatory last spring, and my Energy Series was born.

Purple Heart on Blue and Featured Artist

If days had grades, I’d give today an A+. Lovely and good things came forth today. Stuff I’d put out there and worked toward, came back in a positive way. It’s so nice when that happens. Often, as most of us know, you just put it out there because that’s what you do. And you [...]

It Never Rains in Southern California

But girl, don’t they warn ya? It pours….man it pours! Rainy season is here, hooray! It’s very wet and kinda chilly. After a bone dry year with the worst fires ever here in SoCal, this is a relief. I was able to stay home all day, working in my studio, cleaning, meditating, listening to the [...]

This is an excerpt from The Courage To Create, Rollo May, 1975: “This courage will not be the opposite of despair. We shall often be faced with despair, as indeed every sensitive person has been during the last several decades in this country. Hence Kierkegaard and Nietzsche and Camus and Sartre have proclaimed that courage [...]
