Life is a journey.......So collage it!



"Life is a journey", as the saying goes. I have come to realize that as my life twists and turns towards and away from different paths I am truly grateful for all the places I have been. These experiences I have lived thus far have taught me how to laugh in the rain, appreciate those rare rainbows, and to lean in and listen to those whispers that are there to guide me. It has taken me awhile to realize that my art is not only an expression of who I am at the moment but a compilation of my life and all that I have lived and feel.  . So this collage piece has layers of me literally in it. From the letters written and painted over to the music sheets and  quotes that I hold near and dear. There is even a little Crayola crayon going on as well.....

Some of us discover early what we are truly passionate about and others like myself well lets just say we take the scenic route. In the end it doesn't matter how you get there as long as you arrive at a place that will fuel your soul.....for me that is ART.........

This collage piece was a lot of fun ! It is my whimsical  take on keeping a journal.............




She learned to 
Laugh in the rain.

To appreciate those
 rare rainbows.

To listen to the whispers in the wind
 that danced around her.

It is here where 
she discovered her
inner piece....
that her heart so desired.
