Announcing - Intimate Evolution is now Available

I am so pleased to let you all know that I am now a published writer.  Intimate Evolution:  One Woman's Journey is a collection of prose that I have written over the years.  Thoughts, feelings that I have found are not unique to me.  Volume I:  the roots...beginnings...evolution is about my family mainly;  Volume II:  the tapestries of life is about what makes up my life...and again thoughts and feelings - putting voice to them and trust me it's all been very therapeutic to say the least.  Volume III:  the passions of being are more of my thoughts what makes me passionate about being creative, about loving life and about loving.

Thank you for supporting my creative muse.

Moving

Yes, from the Rustic Hearth is moving. Will be located in Montana by April. Will be taking a much deserved time off from creating. I shall be enjoying the natural hot springs in the south central part of Montana.

Lowertown First Fridays!

First Fridays start at 6pm. Join us on the First Friday of March.

Lowertown Art Crawl - Spring is almost here!

I've had a busy few months. Moved into a loft in the heart of Lowertown!!! I'm organizing the Crane Ordway for the April 23-25 art crawl. New items will be part of this art crawl. I've had so many comments about the silks being like paintings that decided to frame the pocket squares and create some wall hangings. Am excited and watch for photos as I add new items.

Also if you are participating in the Lowertown First Friday - I am participating and you can find me in the Great Northern Building Studio 206.

My studio/loft will be open after the art crawl upon appointment. Watch for updates!!!
