Of the Elements, I’ve always identified most with Water. My astrological sign is Cancer, a water sign. I swam competitively in high school. I could spend hours in the shower or floating in a pool. Water is a portal, one that takes me to a place of serenity and comfort. The world melts away and I feel unity with nature when I’m near, or immersed in, water.

This is Water, the fourth in my Portals series.

Portals 4: Water
Hand painted with acrylic paint on commercial fabric, raw edge fused applique, densely machine stitched.

This piece represents the majesty of Water and reminds us of the power of being alive.

With joy and ease…

Come back and visit again one day soon — I’ll have a new Portal to share. Air is up next, to remind us of the value of being in flow. See you then!

Eight months in the slow making. I present Earth, the third in my Portals series.

This piece represents the mysteries of the Earth and reminds us to ground ourselves when feeling overwhelm.

I haven’t posted in a long while, primarily because I’ve slowed my art making way down. And I’m happy with that.

As 2022 wound down, I finished the second in my new Portals series. Technically, I finished it on January 1, 2023, but let’s not quibble about dates. 😉

This is Intuition:

Portals 2: Intuition
Hand painted with acrylic paint on commercial fabric, raw edge fused applique, densely machine stitched.

I’m enjoying this new direction I’ve taken with acrylic paint on fabric to create an initial design, then adding my fused applique bits, and finally applying my signature dense machine stitching.

To remind my visitors and viewers, in recent years, I’ve released timelines and deadlines and expectations. I’ve relaxed into my opportunities to create because I’ve let go of the need to be creative all.the.time.

And in the letting go, I find my Light is freed up to better listen to my intuition and follow it where it leads. In this case, it led to this new Portal, a view for you into my intuition. 💖

With joy and ease…

Come back and visit in several months and I’m sure I’ll have a new Portal to share. See you then!

Well, that took a hot seven months.

Introducing Portals, a new series.

This is Cosmos:

Portals 1: Cosmos
Hand painted with acrylic paint on commercial fabric, raw edge fused applique, densely machine stitched.

This new direction I’m going — painting on fabric, adding my fused applique bits, continuing with my signature dense machine stitching — is really enjoyable. Even if this piece took many months to create.

To be clear, it was the stitching that took a while, not the design. The design piece is always something that comes together in a short period of time for me.

I’m not complaining about how long Cosmos took to finish. I’ve released timelines and deadlines and expectations. I’ve relaxed into my opportunities to create because I’ve let go of the need to be creative all.the.time.

And in the letting go, I find my Light is freed up to better listen to my intuition and follow it where it leads.

With joy and ease…

I’ll continue to create, as it calls me, following this new direction. I think the next Portal will be filled with bright color. I’ll share it as it comes alive.
