March is looking very exciting! My calendar is packed with interesting opportunities and fun art projects. My goal of becoming a known artist in the community is coming to life!!!
I love to play and create but I confess when I have tried to turn it into a profitable endeavor it becomes a JOB and I don't like stress in my life if I can help it.
I enjoy making art, learning different techniques and spending quiet time lost in a world that isn't moving at break-neck speed. All I have to do is close out the world, grab a paintbrush, put on some music and I can escape the non stop bombardment of stuff that doesn't REALLY matter. I think the world needs to slow down once in a while.

National Children's Advocacy Center
I love children, and young adults. They make you see things you never knew existed. They are intelligent, full of energy and keep me feeling young. Don't even get me started on babies!!!! I can't help myself!
As a mom - I just don't understand "Child Abuse". My children have given me so much love over the years...I would do almost anything to see them smile. As a woman - any physical or mental abuse directed at another for one's enjoyment is intolerable.
And so, I am volunteering with the NCAC. I am doing an art project for their Family Block Party in April. The theme is Superhero's and I am making a "stand in" which is a photo prop that you stand behind and poke your head through the hole. I think the kids and families will enjoy it. Working with the NCAC is my way of showing support and becoming the person I want to be :)

Hooray For Garden Art!!!
Green Things and Butterfly Wings
I am so excited that Spring is just around the corner...new ideas and opportunities are popping up like bright yellow daffodils in and around Madison, AL. Yesterday while I was out it was 80 degrees! Open up the windows and doors and let that sunshine in! Of course that didn't last....but it'sa comin!
As you may already know, I was selected as one of the 35 volunteer artists to paint a large butterfly & it's stand for the Huntsville Botanical Garden this Spring. I will be picking my butterfly up next Tuesday and will upload pics and progress notes as I go.
I am so grateful to be able to share a part of myself this way!
Please leave me comments, I would love hearing from you. Have a happy day!
