I don’t mean to wax poetic about the waxing moon, but I just wanted to share a little moon moment. One quick glimpse at social media and the flurry of blurry photos of light blobs on black backgrounds and you know that there was some sort of lunar event. There was also ample warning leading up to the eclipse that made sure we all knew that there was yet another once-in-a-lifetime sight to see in the sky. But imagine life before technology. Imagine a time when instead of our little glowing phone screens, the only thing to…

All too often I have seen artists that take themselves far too seriously. I imagine these people as Star-Bellied-Sneetches (by Dr. Seuss) with their Sneetch snoots pointed up in the air as they snort and guffaw at art or artists that they don’t think are artsy fartsy enough, or whatever it is that snooty-snoots look down upon.I’m not going to put either of us through any of that in this article. Sit back and relax — let your guard down — this is a pretension free zone where I am going share my mysterious, highly classified art secrets how I made some art stuff. This is…

So, here’s an embarrassing confession. Up until a year or so ago, I had NO idea that people celebrate Superbowl Sunday! I have made it my mission to celebrate every moment, so to discover a new ‘holiday’ was a jackpot for me! Last year was our first Superbowl Party. All we knew was that guacamole was the official snack of the Superbowl, so we bought guacamole and seven layer dip and called it a day. This year I amped it up a little bit. I decorated! I imagine that the way I decorated is unusual and odd to most –…

Halloween is Creeping in…and creatures are stirring in the shadows… If you would like to have some of the most well mannered mice in your house for Halloween, look no further. Just print the solid black mouse printable below on card stock or other thick paper cut them out stick them to the risers on your staircase with circles of tape on the back or if you want to save printer ink and you have construction paper on hand, you can do what I did and print just the red outline printable on regular printer paper and use it to…

Candy Crush Chocolate –Far more evil than Devils Food.Does your cruelty know no bounds? The game Candy Crush has caused me to utter a phrase so foreign and false that it feels like blasphemy – a phrase so profoundly opposed to everything that I have ever known to be true: “I hate chocolate” I don’t even know who I am anymore.

I have always wanted to be one of those artsy girls who never goes anywhere without her camera and is always digging in and snapping amazing shots of both once in a lifetime photography moments as well as quirky unique ways of looking at mundane everyday things. I enjoy seeing photography that truly represents the inner workings of the photographer’s mind when all of the pictures are displayed together in a body of work. I really appreciate when a photographer is able to somehow let you look at life through a new set of eyes and communicate something to you…

I cannot bear to see this series end. This painting is a painting I did as a farewell to my favorite serial killer, Dexter Morgan. (yes that is the most bizarre sentence I have ever typed)

As Halloween rolls around again, I thought I should dust off this creepy old portrait I painted of Barnabas Collins as portrayed by Johnny Depp for the movie Dark Shadows.
