Picture this, you are walking down a romantic tree lined street in Paris, France. You round the corner and there stands the magnificent Eiffel Tower! The sight takes your breath away and you know that you must capture this feeling, this memory and this moment somehow.

I finally finished! It took me 7 months but I finally completed my 26 sketchbook paintings that capture select special moments from our 2021 Epic Summer Road trip across the USA.

For over twenty years, my husband and I have dreamed of doing an epic cross country USA road trip. We imagined all of the places we would see, the big cities, the small towns, fields of corn growing out in the country, and miles and miles of roads. But who has time for such an adventure?

Some of you have asked what supplies I bring when traveling. Here are my favorites:

As you all know, I LOVE travel! Exploring new cities and new places is one of the greatest joys in my life. People often ask me if I paint when traveling and the answer is usually no.

I can’t believe it has been 2 months since I have returned from my wonderful art travels in Spain and France! Life has been a bit chaotic since my return home, but I wanted to take some time to write about the first part of my trip, a fantastic 2 week art workshop in Andalusia lead by artist, Tonja Sell.

I’m still enjoying all of the photos and memories from our trip to Paris and London last month. So many sights and sounds and tastes to enjoy! I’ll take you for a little walk through the Art of London as I experienced it while I was there.

My husband and I just returned from a week in Paris and a week in London…

I’m a big believer in continuing education and training as an artist. It is so essential to my growth.
