The smell of lilacs, fresh cut grass, giant lollipops and laughter in the air are whispers of long ago. Those are happy memories of my birthday.

New Attitude!
This year has started off very different from the last 4 years. We are now 3 months into the year. This is about the time we first measure how the year is going so far. I’m not sure you will believe me or that I will bore you with my faith beliefs but here goes. Goal #1. To be bold in my faith! In the spring of 2017 I had such a difficult season working in my own strength. (My own strength? you ask,) ” I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” Philippians, 4:13. Yes, in my…
Arroyo Garden Murals
Last week was the completion of the tiled murals I was hired to make and install. This is my first commercial job and it actually went pretty smoothly. No different than installing for homes.

Up & Coming Fall Art Shows 2012
I am so excited about this coming season. Fall! It’s finally here and I am busy making inventory as fast as I can. I spent the summer building stock and all of that went into galleries: Tucson Botanical Gardens Gift Shop, Tucson Museum of Art Gift Shop and Mas Y Mas. (More about the galleries later), I am producing more art pieces and my creativity is exploding. I have been planning my booth design, making mental notes of the items I will need to maximize the space. I look forward to being in the atmosphere of artists ready to put a smile on their faces and sell. To an artist, a sale is a validation…
