So…last night I started Hillary’s mini letter and I finished it up tonight. I took pictures along to way to show you my process. First… is the sketch in the sketch book. When I talked to Hillary she said she didn’t really care about the colors, but her office had some blues and greens in…

Do you remember being 3?
Do you remember being 3? It was 1981 when I was 3…living in Coral Gables. Today was my niece Olivia’s 3rd Birthday. I remember when she was born, I met her on day 2, June 8…and held her very close and smiled down at her big bright eyes that took everything in… Today she negotiates…
Snack Time…
Some days I forget to eat breakfast…not because my stomach isn’t reminding me–but because I get into things in the morning and then its “too late”…on days like this…I am ravenous by noon…and come 4pm no matter what I snack on, my head is pounding. Today was a day like this. The good thing is…

Baubles
There are things in this life of mine that make me happy…my husband, my dog, my family, my art supplies…my shoes…my bags…my baubles… I think I like these things because no matter how thin or pudgy I get or feel…these things always make me feel a bit sparkly and fab. One of my greatest bauble…
RIP MJ, Farrah and Ed…
I was 4 years old when I first saw Michael Jackson grace the TV screen as he girated along with a band of zombies in his Thriller album. I remember seeing the album…and how it open up like a grand triptych… I grew up on MJ…and he’s always been with me in some shape or…
