Two of my favorite things are gardening and creating art. As a gardener and an artist, I love the colors, the smells, the peace and solitude that my time spent in the garden and in front of a canvas, brings to me. As an artist, I endeavor to express my love of nature in each of my pieces. I try to capture the beauty created by an undeniably talented God.

News from Gypsy Muse Studio

Dear Creative Friend,

I finally finished my "Inner Light" Self Portrait, the next level. The dragon represents longevity and wisdom, the passion flowers, my strong faith in Christ, the butterfly represents finding joy in life and then there are the color meanings and so much more meaningful items shining through as my inner light, on canvas. I have a workshop called "Your Inner Light a Self Portrait", where you can create your very own inner light portrait. Next workshop will be May 10th and 11th at Gypsy Muse Studio in Grapevine.

Check out below link for more information.

News from Gypsy Muse Studio


Dear Creative Friend,

January is always a busy month for me. I am closing out last year and looking at how I can do things simpler, more organized; how can I step lighter and  leave gentler footprints myself, as well as on those around me.

"Closing out 2013"



So those are my gentle footprints on my end of the year inventory, bookwork, closing up loose ends. Ok, so maybe those are my prints as I stamped all over them. Book work is not my favorite thing, lucky for me I have a wonderful book keeper that keeps me straight. Thank you Lori!

"Don't ever underestimate the mark you can leave on the world with gentler footprints." Judy Belmont.
