Oil Painter - Fine Artist
I love the painting process ....inspiration, sketch, paint. That would be the simplified version. There are a great many things to think about as an artist and sometimes it's overwhelming and yet other times it's exciting. Finding the right time to put the paint brush down and declare the painting finished is hard and yet rewarding. I look forward to sharing new paintings with you!

How many times to do you find yourself "starting again"? Me? Every single day! I sat down at the desk in my little studio space of our home surrounded by my paint brushes, paints, canvases, everything I need to start painting again. I wanted to share "the perfect quote" to represent the new beginning of my art journey. Everything about this is far from perfect. Behind me is the real life mess of trying to organize my life and sort out the many things that take up space from books, fabric, paperwork, Legos, dirty clothes that somehow escape the laundry basket, etc. There is music blaring at me from our daughter's room and music drifting up from downstairs where our son is playing his choice of tunes. I wouldn't be surprised if my hubby is listening to something else in his small home office space. Despite the fact I can barely think to write this, I absolutely love it. My family is my everything. Each day brings something new from the challenges of parenting a teen, teaching our kids to be good humans, keeping up with school activities, meals, and staying connected with each other. So, this is me starting to paint again. It's not always easy as self doubt sets in. Art has always been a part of me. I have run from it many times scared that I am not good enough. I have always tried to stay on the surface of just painting something that someone may want to hang on their wall but there is more to it. It's time. Time to start again.
