Easter Celebrations of different households

Home, oh home, let me come home. Home is wherever I am with you.

Luckily in our homesickness, Gretchen let us venture to her lovely home to enjoy Easter dinner with her family.
What a beautiful house. It is a mix of everything I love; art, cultural treasures, victorian window seats with lush cushions and full curtains, french style wall paper, colored walls, squishy sofas, loving family, laughter and good food. It sounds cliche I know, but when you are away from all of these senses and visual luxuries, they seem so much more overwhelmingly exciting .



Gretchen's mom made a cookie station for the kids. I think we had more fun than they did.
Who says art can't be in cookie form!


A dozen cookies later, we decided to share the station with the children.






April April April!

For April's birthday, the twelve of us went to her water-polo game. At one point, I looked down the line and saw skirts, purple tights, canvas bags and a sewing basket. Needless to say, we did not look like the typical sports fans. Oh how I love artists.





We Shot the Moon!

What an amazing show. Wow. The opening band All the Day Holiday was just as good, if not better. In fact, I may be in love with them. They were the embodiment of their music and as a fellow artist, it was so refreshing to see honesty in a creative form. Thank you my musician friends, I am inspired by your passion. I hope people feel as inspired to create when looking at my art as I did listening to them.












At the opening of our show Inheritance. Art groupies?





My beautiful half made a piece about her dads hands. What a passionate human being.


Title: The Webs We Weave.
This piece is about my beautiful lovely momma. Ask me about it and I will explain it. Just like my mom, it is simple, yet complex and requires a lot of explaining.

When in doubt, lift your head and look UP. You will be surprised by the new things you discover.
