Happy Online Birthday !

It's hard to believe that I started teaching online 7 years ago this month!!  Holy cow!  That decision probably is one of the main catalysts that set me off on the path to working full time as an artist.

It was from there I built the confidence to send work off to magazine publishers and have now been featured in close to 30 articles and collaborative ventures internationally.

The teaching, however, has by far my most treasured experience. Through online teaching I have met literally 1000's of students and artists from around the world that have changed my life for the better.  They add to my life far more than I add to theirs.

Leaping from online teaching to face to face teaching around the country and in Canada most recently, I have connected with many that I met first initially online or some that have read about my work in magazines.    It's been so wonderful to meet the face behind the screen friend I have come to know!

Truly amazing how one or decisions in our life can lead to amazing turning points that can forever change us.  

This month my first online class turns 7 .  In celebration of that milestone, I created a special coupon code you can use in my shop as a thank you!

Use coupon code:   happyonlinebirthday from now until June 19th, 2016.

Save 15.00 off any purchase of 99.00 or more (That's the price of my latest class  Dirty Flirty Birds). You can use it for the class or any artwork over that price.. 

Take a look and see if anything speaks to you!

Thank you for following me in this journey!

Get out of the Sugar cookie coma and come create!

While I recover from a sugar cookie and fudge coma and am all cozied up at the house, I thought I'd get a little 'painty' today.  Just playing in the studio not really knowing where I'm going or what I'm doing but having fun slinging some paint around.  It feels great, I'm definitely in my Happy Place :))

My Favorite 2014 Journal Pages A Flip Through

Today I wanted to share some of my favorite pages from 2014 out of my journal (s) but when I started to compile my list, oh my goodness...I have a hard time editing anything so I figured why not make a short video featuring some of the pages.

It's always interesting looking back through some of your pages. You start to remember pieces of your life you might not have remembered had they not been documented.

Or you might say, what the hell was I thinking?? 

I have to admit, I am inconsistent when it comes to journaling but I'm glad I do it and will be doing much more of it in 2015, especially since I'm updating my journaling class and will be featuring a new one online.

I've found I try things I don't normally do in my regular paintings...

And it serves as a space to let go and just vent or lament every once in a while.

Take a peek at some of my fav's from the last year. If you haven't picked up your journal in a while (or ever),  today's a good day to start.  

New beginnings.  

I thought I'd write a New Year's post what my intentions are for the next 12 months but honestly, my eyes and back are tired from being at the computer for the last several days working on a project  & fixing a catastrophic computer program...so that post is going to have to wait a bit so I can focus a bit better.
I hope your first day of the New Year has been a grand one!  I'm excited for all the possibilities and can't wait to move forward.

Here's to all of us shining on our best selves in 2015.  Make every day count!
