When is a spread finished? There is something to be said for mystery and wonderment.
Spread 0022 – Finding…
Some have it from the very start. For others it takes time. Slowly. Be still. You hear it faintly. Listen. Listen closely. There it is. Your own voice. Listen it is there.
Spread 0021 – Passage to India
"When I stop learning I am dead." Martha Stewart. I am a travelor, a seeker. Recently I took a trip to India with some friends. No we did not fly there, there were no long journeys. We went to a class at Orly Avineri's and we were inspired to go to India in our [...]

The Magic of PLAY!
Teesha and Tracy Moore are magicians! They invited about 30 artists to their PLAY retreat in Port Townsend Washington and I was lucky enough to attend with Orly Avineri. What a fantastic three days we had. We took turns showing techniques and tips. I had the good fortune to sit across from Tracy Moore [...]
Get Out Of My Face
How many of us don't do self portraits because we can't draw, aren't artistic, etc. Go beyond the self portrait, get out of your face, go for broke. Find the joy in creating and expressing yourself. This is from another of Orly Avineri's art journaling group. Of coarse I expanded on the theme. I am [...]
Warm Friends
It has been said many times before, all of artist's work are self portraits. We did a series of self portraits at Orly Avineri's latest art journaling group. Here are mine. January is a good time to look inward and look at ourselves. I recently turned 50 years old, and I am also reaching the [...]

Amped Voices
I have a lot of projects going on right now which can lead to a lot of voices in my head screaming at me to get things done. I am under some time constraints so these voices get amped up. This sort of sums up what I am feeling right now...
Picture Perfect Memories
Memories are tricky things. We tend to look at much of the past in romantic ways. We worry about the future. We seldom live in the present. Each present moment with our loved ones is so very precious and fleeting. I choose to live very much in the present. Get those memories out and on [...]
Personal Maps
I am working on some projects to get ready for Teesha & Tracy Moore's PLAY Retreat. I am re-photographing some previous spreads. This was previously blogged on my old blog here, and is from one of Orly Avineri's wonderful classes.
Happy New Year!

More love. More fun! More time with friends. A more healthy lifestyle. More exercise. More activity. Do you see a pattern [...]
So Much Loss
We all have losses in our lives, it is a part of life. It is how we deal with these losses that matters most. I choose to celebrate the lives of the ones I have lost. This holiday season remember those we have lost. Remember what they have contributed to your life and who you [...]
Seeing In Black and White…
This is a spread from a class from Orly Avineri. We did a study in black and white ONLY. It is also shown on my old blog here. It is one of my favorite spreads. I tend to see more in shades of grey than in black and white, how about you?
I See Ghosts.
As long as I can remember I have been visted by ghosts. They come to me when I am alone and very quiet. They come to me in dreams. They talk to me and tell me secret things.
The Women in My Life
I am thankful for all the wonderful, beautiful women in my life. This is for you. You make my life beautiful. From Orly Aveneri's wonderful art journaling class.
