COPING WITH "LIFE"
THROUGH THE EYES OF THE HEART

ART IS GOOD FOR THE SOUL

"The only time I feel alive is when I'm painting or drawing."

As a  child, I loved to draw and color. I was told by teachers that I was "one of the best".  So, once I was praised and encouraged regarding my "talent", I took off and kept getting better.  
Art was always an outlet for me and I believe everyone has their own creativity.  
The problem was how to remain an artist once I "grew up".

"When I first began creating my own Christmas cards almost 40 years ago, I was afraid the recipient would consider me cheap for sending them.  To my surprise, now...if they don't receive one, they feel cheated."
