At the ripe old age of 56, I stumbled upon an art program hosted by an artist I liked, Kelly Rae Roberts. I booked a spot for myself and a friend. I needed this, between serving my HUGE and growing tribe in CampExperience™ and my daughter growing up, I realized I was not doing anything for myself. It was an intensive workshop in California, and I had never taken an art class. I was a craftlete...I just made stuff. But I needed to escape my “normal life” and responsibilities and let myself just BE...in art! So from my soul came my first mixed-media art angels.
First was Grace, then her Sister Next, and my third piece Grow. I believe these angels were my self talking to myself.
Since starting to explore my art and creating Grow, I have created over 100 pieces, designed and produced two card decks, greeting cards, blessing journals, and an upcoming book.
