I have been going to the same hairdresser for seventeen years, just two blocks from my home. I really like Joe, and he seems to like visiting with me.

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.

Last month kicked off my first showing as the artist-in-residence for the Civic Orchestra of Jacksonville. It’s been an amazing experience to have the opportunity to express the orchestra’s rich performances through visual art.

I am the artist-in-residence for the Civic Orchestra of Jacksonville this season. I paint to music, and my mission was to translate Camille Saint-Saëns’ Symphony No. 3 “Organ Symphony.”

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.

Enjoy my newest work! (36×36)

I am thrilled to announce that I have been selected as the Artist-in-Residence by the Civic Orchestra of Jacksonville for their 2017-2018 season.

Summer has been my favorite season ever since I can remember. As the youngest child of four, play was a big part of my life.

In my last post, I talked about intentionally recreating the woods that form a backdrop for a field of flowers at Down to Earth Farm. While the background dried, I contemplated my next step.

A couple of weeks ago, I strolled through my garden to collect colors for my next painting and displayed live plants in a vase in my studio.
