In Honor of Breast Cancer Month

I painted this piece just this week in honor of breast cancer month. Four years ago, I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and had undergone chemo treatments.  The only thing that kept me going is my courage to face this battle and fight it till the end. So far so good I am still cancer free to this day. I wanted to send a message out to all those of who are battling this terrible disease. There is hope and never give up. I titled this piece "Be Brave. Your courage will see you through." I hope this piece brightens someone's day.

Wishing Upon A Star

My latest mixed media art titled "Wishing Upon A Star".

My Guardian Angel

Yesterday, I made a mixed media painting of an angel with the words, "IF I COULD GIVE YOU ONE GIFT...I WOULD GIVE YOU THE ABILITY TO SEE YOURSELF AS I SEE YOU, SO YOU COULD SEE HOW TRULY "SPECIAL" YOU ARE!! I titled it "My Guardian Angel".  Check out the digital version....

Gratitude

I am ever so grateful for all the wonderful blessings that I have. Even the most simplest things like the air I breathe, the sunshine on a beautiful day, the kindness from people. My heart is full of hope for the future.  Everyday I am learning new stuff about art. Taking Lifebook classes with Tamara Laporte has really extended my knowledge about the different styles of "arting".  Not sure if that is a word.  I am definitely enjoying every minute of it. I am also continuing to learn Photoshop Elements and incorporating digital elements into my art work.  Totally loving it!

Here is one of my recent collaboration with painting and digital art. The following quote just connected with me: "People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness.  Just because they're not on your road doesn't mean they've gotten lost"...quote by the Dalai Lama.  So true!
