My First Artist Residency...in Italy!

This summer I was lucky enough to attend my first artist residency. High on a hill above the ancient Valle Camonica in the town of Cividate Camuno in Lombardy, surrounded by the majestic embrace of the Italian Alps, stands RUC. This mystical place is an ancestral home where artists from all over the world come to work in and be inspired by nature and history.

October Mood Board

This month I'm all about that dark olive/hunter green with a touch of brassy peach and of course, lots of depth and texture.  Lately I'm using a lot of these tones in my original paintings and in my wardrobe.

How to Guarantee a Great Year in 2018

How to Guarantee a Great Year in 2018

Every year I choose a word that becomes a mantra to take me through the next twelve months.  I write that word down and try to manifest it.  In 2017 I chose "purpose" as my word and each time I felt like I was struggling or facing some difficulty, or felt uninspired, or frankly deterred and depressed by the state of affairs in our world, I turned to my word, PURPOSE, to bring me light and remind me of what I am meant to do and why I am meant to do it. This time I took the lessons from last year to take me into 2018.
