Promethean: Dare to Create
Promethean, a mixed media, envisions creativity’s fruitfulness masked in human form. Like the mixed media’s namesake, Prometheus, we receive fire or inspiration from heaven and make something beneficial for humanity when we dare to create. The name for the mask popped into my mind quite unexpectedly, and I couldn’t recall the meaning. When I looked …
Warrior Princess Mask Featured in Somerset Studio Magazine
Today I went to Barnes and Nobles with my husband and noticed the current issue ofSomerset Studio magazine. I had submitted a piece of artwork last spring for this September/October issue, figured I wasn’t chosen, and so opened it to see who was.

Unconditional Surrender
“I put no conditions on my surrender.” I mumbled those words after wrestling with something I feared God wanted me to do, but I dreaded. “Lord, you’re really not asking me to do that are you? You know that’s the one thing I’m most terrified of doing! Surrender! I’ve watched enough movies to know that in times of …

I’m reading this wonderful book and savoring every word, like a glass of fine wine. Having grown up on a vineyard, Jacobsen’s knowledge about vineyard husbandry brings scriptures to life. Jacobsen explains how God has grafted us into the …
Live Towards the Light
Live Towards the Light is a mixed media piece that addresses the artistic soul’s dark side. Those times when cloaks of confusion, anxiety, and despair fall over your heart, mind, and soul. Depression runs in my artistic family, and I know we’re not alone. Over the years, I’ve talked to countless other creative people who struggle …
Moon Dancing
We creative sorts are destined to be moon dancers, people who envision the impossible and dance upon the unreachable, dreams as distant as the moon. We spent an inordinate amount of time fantasizing about what could happen in our artistic lives: Perhaps I’ll become a famous novelist. Maybe my art will be recognized on Etsy …
Dare to Dream Beyond your Fears and Limitations
Dream is an artistic expression of my creative aspirations. What if we dared to dream of possibilities beyond our present skills or the obstacles life throws our way? Dream is a mixed media piece I created to express my desire to develop as a writer, artist, and singer/songwriter. I don’t know about you, but my fears …
