Art always makes me feel better. Like somehow, I’m Doing My Life Right. Maybe it’s because I go into a trancey kind of out-there in-there smooth, calm, non-thinking zone state while I’m creating art. Maybe it’s because when I see those bright colors something grabs me deep in my heart, and says ‘life can’t be […]

LEONARD LEOPARD
I’ve been talking about procrastination lately. Mainly because I’ve been doing it, myself. I know, bad me. I couldn’t figure out why until speaking with a friend today. I happened to just blurt out that after this relief money runs out, I’m worried that my life will fall flat, that I won’t be able to […]
THREE SISTERS of JOY
Fish have always meant happiness to me. Maybe because I spent so much time sitting on the dock near my childhood house, feet swinging over the water, as I caught buckets of bluefish and flounder. Maybe it’s because they are so varied and graceful, and so beautiful. When I lived in Hawaii, seeing them flash […]
THREE ON A TREE
Someone asked me to do this one for her, as a gift for someone’s baby. The mom has three rambunctious kids, so I figured each one needed to have a bear. And of course they are going for the honey comb, right? What else do naughty bears do? (And Rabbit wonders how soon they will […]

LOVING YOU
I have decided that I am going to put 4 hours a day into painting from now on. I design and publish others’ books for a living, so my time will obviously have to be adjusted a bit. But I’ve decided I’m not even half as good a painter as I want to be, and […]
ANGELA DERAIN
KAILUA BEACH CANAL – Painted in the style of André la Derain It was highly educational to replicate this image by André Derain. I learned that, although he had some cool ideas about color and its use, he was a careless painter, thus getting muddy colors and sloppy sections. I’m a smoother, and he was […]
ANGELA MODIGLIANI
Self-portrait #2, done in the style of Amadeo Modigliani, one of my all-time favorite painter/sculptors. Amadeo Modigliani (which is pronounced MOH-dee-lee-AHN-ee – the G is silent) had a very distinct style that has always appealed to me. It was very simplified, and intensely stylized, yet he always somehow was able to get the personality of […]
DEER PRAYER
In late 1999, I was house-sitting for some friends in Tesuque, NM. (pronounced tess-OO-kee) It was bloody cold – maybe you don’t know this, but Santa Fe is 7000′ above sea level, and Tesuque is a bit higher. There was snow that morning; my blankies weren’t sufficient, and being naturally a tropical gal, I was […]
DELIGHT
Every morning before I get up, I do my best to spend an hour in meditation. If I don’t do that, I feel disjointed and discombobulated all day, or at lest until I get to sit and focus inside. It has become such an integral part of my life that if I stopped I would […]
My New Book Is Out!
Harlyn and Griffyn Get Lost I’m so excited to announce that my new book is now ready in print on Amazon.com and also on the Kindle! I just got my copies today, and they look gorgeous – nice white paper and crispy clear brilliant colors. Woohoo! What’s it about? Harlyn and Griffyn, twin brother and […]
Published: The Land of Ammaze Books!
I’m very stoked to announce that the books with my well-loved drawings from the Land of Ammaze are finally published! I’ve been wanting to make the Land of Ammaze series of images into a book for 15 years, and finally, it’s done! They are available both in print and as eBooks. I’m so pleased with […]
Zoiking My Tomatoes….
I’ve been intentionally blessing my tomato plants that usually get terrible patches of mold on them: the mold is not only shrinking but the leaves look greener and heartier… Hmmm…. (What’s Zoiking it? Go HERE….)
Sun, Sand & Sculpture!
Every once in a while you just gotta stop and not just smell the roses (gardenia, jasmine…) but go down to the beach and have a romp! My friend, Financial Advisor Jobie Summer (who specializes in advising other financial advisors in Socially Responsible Investing) and I went down to Kailua Beach the other day and […]
A Baudy New Year to You!
I want to wish you one of the most awesome, fun, heart-saturated and outrageously profitable year possible! Can you feel how the energy has shifted? Only three days ago it was like slogging through cold wet dirty snow about to freeze around all my cells. Today and yesterday I’ve been so energized I can hardly […]
I Loooooooove My Chocolate!
