I love to send "Art in an Envelope"
I live in Austin, Texas. You can find me painting in my home studio, in my kitchen, at my parents ranch, at a coffee shop, on the beach in Oahu, in Zion National park, in a coffee shop in Florence, Italy, or on most recently on a tour in Jerusalem, Israel. Through greeting cards, large canvases, or my travel journals, I embrace the joys in each God-given day and try to express this in my art.
I began my college years at The University of Texas where my dad told me to major in business while my mom encouraged me to study art. Apparently I should've listened to my mom! I loved my years at UT, majoring in business communications while playing golf for the Lady Longhorns. After graduation, I put art on hold for a bit and became a golf professional. As I raised my four boys, I always found time to create or paint or dabble.... stained glass, acrylic, encaustics all grabbed my attention when I had a couple hours free. Luckily, the boys all enjoyed being creative. I always had a space where we could paint and play.
Now, as a new "empty nester", I fill my days with friends, family, travel, pickleball, tennis, and lots of ART!!!
A few of my favorites:
"I arise in the morning torn between a desire to save the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day."
-E.B. White
"I can't stop the waves but i can learn to surf them."
-Rachael Platt
"Help us to believe the truth about ourselves no matter how beautiful it is."
-A Prayer by Macrina Whitaker
"God does not call the qualified, he qualifies the called."
-unknown
"Set your mind on things above, not on earthly things."
Colossians 3:2
"Little boys should never be sent to bed.
They always wake up a day older."
Peter Pan
