Artist Statement: My house is full, 8 children keep me hopping. Every moment of the day is filled to capacity. Sometimes I sleep, sometimes I don’t. I love having a full life. If I could live 3 lives in one I would. I would learn a million things, create endlessly, talk and laugh with every person I meet. My greatest daydream is a world without the ticking time master. Creating brings me so much fulfillment. It has always been a healing place. I missed it desperately when I took 20 years off to create a family. 2018 brought space for art again. . . Oh how I missed it!! Waking up that sleeping artist has brought me so much joy. Over the last 4 years I have studied, experimented, played, and labored over art. It has brought me new friends, new adventures, and growth. Above all, it has given me a place to process my emotions, discover who I am, and share what I believe with the world around me. I hope I never tire of this journey!
