Okay! Let's be real for a moment. I am a wife and mom trying to make ends meet doing something I love! Who wouldn't want that? It is hard to reach out and start something new, but I want to do this! I started painting after my youngest had a year recovery from a heart transplant. You might say "wow" or "that's amazing", but I can tell you, it was crazy and exhausting! Having a toddler that takes lots of meds and regular tantrums and doctor's visits and hospital stays. I learned that taking care of the care giver was just as important as taking care of the patient! It's like putting on your own oxygen mask before helping others. What I found was that I loved to be creative! I took drawing, 3-D art, ceramics, print making, fibers, and, of course, painting. Each class a challenge and definitely a learning experience. Doing something creative filled my teapot! (You have to fill your own before you can share with others.) I felt like I had found my groove again! Though it was hard to do school and family, I persevered with the help of my wonderful husband, Mike and my kids, Beth, Ben, Chris , and John. And of course little Daniel (who has now graduated from High school)! I can't forget all my family and friends who jumped in to help! Thank you! It really takes a village!
Just this past year, my oldest son Ben received the gift of a new heart! So here I am, back to being alive enough to be a monument to the works of creativity! I want to share my wisdom, talk with adults, and generally lift the spirit of those I come in contact with! I am grateful for all those who have been a part of my journey! Let's keep moving forward together with courage!
I have an BFA in Art Education from the University of North Carolina Charlotte and an amazing Associates from St. Petersburg College, FL.
What was here just sounded like pretentious artsy-fartsy crap! Walk hand in hand in an art-filled experience....though that doesn't sound soooo bad. I just want to paint and have fun (and maybe make some funds along the way)! What about you?
