Finally in My New Home in FL

August 19, 2019, I closed on my condo in Fort Myers, FL…a very long way from Springfield, MO. Today is October 21 and I am finally out of pain from the hip surgery (and all the complications), unpacked and starting to “art” again. Liquor Bottle? If you look closely on the desk at the far

Being a Creative Person

Thinking Art

Not all artists are privileged enough to be able to do their craft full time. I actually own a web design company and have for 20 years. It’s full time, plus some. I love my job and wouldn’t have any other job. Some people think that since I’m self employed and work out of my
