Create by observing the world around you

My aunt, a life long fine artist, looks out the window while making her morning espresso and see shapes and figures in the tree branches of the burr oak in her garden. The tree people as she calls them, inspire a new body of work.

I see fashion possibilities everywhere. A flower petal dress, a tea pot hat, tree bark trousers.

My friend Roxie sees a face formed by the bubbles in her freshly poured apple juice.

We all see things things differently. How we see effects what we see and what we see through our unique lens has the power to inspire, captivate and awaken others and ourselves. Start by taking a deep breath, let go of the chatter in your mind and as holly hobbie used to say, take time to smell the flowers.
