About Me:: Although painting is my first love, assemblage and art dolls has become an essential spiritual practice. I love the process of sculpting with polymer clay and working with textiles, yarn, fibers and beading, creating a context where magic begins.

I've been inspired by many cultures where dolls were made symbolic of the sacred...full of meaning and creativity, here there is an element of reverence and solitude that guides me gently into that type of art.

It is a form of meditation...a beautiful Spirit dance.

Some have called my work metaphysical surrealism, I just know that Spirit moves me to find inspiration in nature, myth and life itself. My only hope is that people may find in my art a sense of peace.

Newest Art Dolls

It has taken quite a few weeks to come back to my dolls, I had so many things to do in between...that I almost feared that they would not "allow me in" the flow of creativity. I am glad it was not so, as soon as I sat at my table...the process began and I am glad it did, because it feels like I have balanced my time. These little creatures are such blessing to my days. Not only because I enjoy making them, it is wonderful to see that others enjoy them as well.
What prompted me to finish what I had started months ago...someone found me at Etsy and purchased 6 dolls! Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound...

Here are some of my newest spirit dolls, available at my Etsy Store

Let the light in...

During this time of conflic, polarized
opinions and scary news, we need to remember how
much light we can bring to others even when the
situation is not perfect, it takes just one kind
word to let the light in...a smile or a hug.

Ring the bells that still can ring.
Forget your perfect offering.
There is a crack in everything.
That's how the light gets in.

--Leonard Cohen

Don't turn away. Keep looking at the bandaged place.
That's where the light enters you.

Making art for the sake of soul survival

WHAT WE NEED IS IN OURSELVES-IT’S THERE-WE
JUST NEED TO LISTEN HARD AND FIND IT-IT TAKES TIME
BUT IT’S THERE...

There’s this really hard work ethic I have
But it’s also a joy for me to make things
It is survival for me

~ Quote from Danny Mansmith ~

This man is one of the most creative folks I have encountered...talk about transformation...scrap becomes a work of art in his hands.

Having a "real job" vs Creativity...organization and blogs.

I have lost count of all the blogs I have...mostly because I have little time to update, but I keep getting "hooked" into joining one more group or blog. Why...who cares...! The opportunity to meet others, to create and to play a little makes me relax from a long day at the office. I am in Real Estate, this is my second year, and I have to say, after a lifetime of being "only an artist and a mom" I can tell the world "I am a Realtor" Ha!

Well...the truth is, I am who I am, here and at the offic… Continue

Have a wonderful night!
