    travel recap - Adirondacks

    Traveling in the Adirondacks with my family is a yearly tradition. I have been spending summers there since I was a baby! I love to be there with my own kids and watch them enjoying it as much as I always have. And I am so lucky that my husband loves it there as much as I do! We spent a lot of time swimming, playing cards, taking walks in the woods, and eating copious amounts of ice cream after the kids went to bed. What a lovely vacation! Now that it's nearly mid-August I am

    travel adventures

    My family and I just got home from our latest travel adventure to southern France. It was an unbelievably beautiful vacation filled with excellent food, perfect weather, amazing friends, and a lot of really good wine. We saw cave paintings, toured a castle, had a picnic along a river, and took a boat tour. I took a lot of photos but they can't capture the magic of the chirping birds, the sweet-smelling air and the delicious food. What a week filled with inspiration! I have so

    ideas

    I've been thinking recently about where ideas come from. I'm often asked about that as a visual artist and I don't always understand the answer myself! I have a lot of images that float around in my mind and I want to try to capture them when I paint. These are often landscapes, seascapes, and skies. I return to these subjects over and over again in a vain attempt to capture the beauty of nature. Sometimes these images come to me in my dreams! Like this one: If I sit down to

    Big Magic

    Everyone I know is talking about this book, Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert. It's everywhere. I bought it thinking it must be over-hyped and it's not!! It's amazing! I absolutely loved the anecdotal stories from creative people about how their inspiration comes to them - from grabbing a poem as it flies through the air, to telling a song to wait because you're in traffic and you can't write it down. So great!! The overall message is that you have to do the work. Keep creating.

    travel recap - Adirondacks

    The second half of summer vacation included 2 weeks in the peaceful Adirondacks (briefly interrupted by a quick trip to NYC for a lovely wedding). I've spent time in the Adirondacks every summer of my life! It's such a beautiful place. It's impossible to capture it in photos or paintings but I will keep trying. Trees, rocks, paths in the woods, mountains... there is inspiration everywhere. This is the most beautiful spot in the whole world. On a clear night you can see so man

    travel recap - UK

    London, Edinburgh, the Adirondacks, NYC for a wedding, more Adirondacks, and we're back. That's a lot!! I'm so excited to be home. Here are some highlight photos from the UK. I was so inspired by England and Scotland. I have so many images in my mind to paint! Beautiful and moody clouds. Rolling hills. Dramatic cliffs (Holyrood Park!!) and beautiful stone buildings. So much inspiration!! I will share some photos from the Adirondacks in another post. There is so much beauty in
