Seeking Enlightenment

It has been a year since I made the decision to change the way I was doing life. I had spent the last 24 years in retail management and worked for three different companies over that period of time.

Our lives in Florida were interrupted by Hurricane Irma last week and everything was put on hold to prepare for survival…and then there was the cleanup.

The fiber artist in my life, Ann, has recently been getting to know my niece B.J. This relationship has been building in a crazy round about way.

I have been gardening for almost 10 years. There is no one in my family to hand down the skills of a gardener, so I started out small with a raised bed and relied on books and the internet as guides.

Several months ago I started a 36×36 painting. I had no looming deadlines, and I was at a place where I could explore new techniques that had been bouncing around in my head.

The kitchen is a place where my art-inspired life comes full circle. I often set a group of colors in my memory as I spend time in the garden or at the farm.
