Today is a beautiful Saturday! I love fall and it is the most inspiring season to me. It passes all too quickly, so I'm trying to remember the moments and use them to create. I've been having fun taking my original artwork and creating mixed media collage elements. It is rather addicting! I'll be offering them here on my site in the near future.

I even drew people standing next to books. :) I also drew birds. They were a reminder that life ... View the Post

The Mist Brings Clarity

As a writer, there are certain things that inspire the thoughts that turn into stories. Sometimes the idea is a subtle one, and it develops into something more later on. Sometimes, all it takes is the right color in the sky, the smell of the air, crunchy leaves, or the fog. This was the view from my window one morning. It might look depressing to some, but it was exquisite to me. It was the fog of potential. So many stories could spawn from such a fog. The contrast of the green against the fog ... View the Post
