    My life is currently focused on our furry four legged friends. I’m still painting some birds and a few cats but mostly I’m all about capturing the personality of some sweet puppies. I think they are the most loyal companions around and I’m so enjoying getting to know them more.

    I have a couple animal events coming up. First it’s Furry Friends Fine Art Festival, a family art show centered around animals at Shemer Art Center, 5005 E Camelback, Saturday, September 17, 8am-4pm.

    Then I have a one-day workshop on how to paint your pet at Scottsdale Artists’ School, 3730 N Marshall Way,Scottsdale, 480-990-1433.  December 14

  • Join me for a weekend retreat tapping in to The Artist Within!

    “Adventure calls. Blaze a new trail. Cross a continent. Dare to discover. Escape the routine. Find a fresh perspective. Go slow. Gaze absentmindedly. Savor every moment. Have some fun! Invest now in future memories. Keep a journal. Leave prejudice and narrow mindedness behind. Make for the horizon and meet new people.Navigate the unknown. Observe, and open your mind. Pursue a road less traveled. Quest for truth. Rely on yourself. Sail away from the safe harbor. Take a risk. Unleash your curiosity. Venture further. Why wait? Expect the unexpected. Say Yes to adventure….journey with Zeal!

  • New Year, Fresh Start!

    I always love this time right before the new year, a time to review what worked and what didn’t in the past year and make a fresh, clean start. Time to figure out classes to teach, retreats to lead, and workshops to take. Which competitions are worth entering, where would I really love to show? Where can I actually show? Who might wish to buy my art, who would love to host a paint party or have a team building event? How can I spend most of my time doing what I love(painting and inspiring others to create), make a living, and still have time for family? How can I best give back to my community while continuing to grow as an artist? Am I being the best human I can be?

    What helps me and what hurts me? Who lifts me up and supports me, and who always lets me down? What do I need more of, less of?  What is my number one goal, and what are the small steps I can take to make it happen? I’m sure many of you, like me, enjoy this sacred time of incredible possibilities.

    Good luck and Happy New Year!       my website
