Busy day today!

Well, it's just about quittin' time for me. I spent the morning doing some art business, then the afternoon listing jewelry on etsy. Here are some new pieces that are available:

I'm working on a few new pieces for an art opening I have at the beginning of May. Here is one of them, called "Namaste". It was not an easy painting, I struggled with it. Couldn't get it to look the way I wanted, so I just started drawing all over it. I'm pretty happy with it now...

The part that looks yellow over the flower is actually more a mellow lime green.

A new start

After almost a year of no blogging, I am finally ready to begin again. New haircut, new life, new adventures to share.

I'm finally settling back in to life in Tempe, AZ. Lots of sun and beautiful days have been a treat. I've also begun to work in earnest on my dream of being a full-time jewelry and accessory designer, and artist. My partner has given me a wonderful gift; the gift of time to make my dreams come true. This is the first time in my adult life that I have the opportunity to focus full time on my art. I still can't quite believe it!

I also got my first smartphone and have been enjoying Instagram and all the other goodies that my phone has. It is already proving invaluable to my work.

So look forward to frequent posts sharing my new work and life in general. Cheers!

A sad time

I will be heading to Phoenix tonight for a few days. My father-in-law passed away last night after several months of illness and struggle. It's a very difficult time for our family, so keep us in your thoughts and prayers.
