Life is too short to rush around and be too busy for your kids.

Things that influence me are my kids, their happiness, colorfulness, and vitality. My husband – he comes up with some great quotes and ideas. God – He is the Ultimate artist. And what I see around me – flowers, leaves, trees, birds, fruit, vegetables.

Babies! What a wonderful way to start people!
I like to draw late at night when the house is quiet.
Part of my passion for all things Christmas is seeing my holiday stuff again every December. I suppose I do have more than most folks, so the reunion each winter keeps me in the holiday spirit for a full year. And there are always a few pieces out in my house whatever the month.
