a sneak peek of new pieces i'll be bringing to midway swiss days!! are you coming?!! it's friday august 30th and saturday august 31st from 8 am till dark. i'll attach a map below where i've circled my booth A-40 which is south of the the entertainment tent, next to the huge evergreen trees. text me if you can't find me at the event (435.709.2780).

prints start at $45 and the largest framed are $295. original oils start at $200 for a framed circle mini. there are paris pieces, landscapes, florals with birds, bees etc. i'll have some larger pieces and even some very large pieces (up to 48x96).

my favorite moments of swiss days are the intimate and spiritual conversations shared. the great majority of these special chats have been on the topics of our heavenly mother. it never surprises me the desire we as women have to know our divine feminine. you're so loved and i hope if there's one thing you get from experiencing my art -- it is that your divine parents and savior love you personally.

let's chat about all things adam & eve, how we can learn from their journey and what blessings do we enjoy because of their Fall? i've been researching across different of christian thoughts as well as from a messianic jewish perspective too. so many different feelings and impressions...some scientific, some symbolic...all led me to deeper possibilities -- ultimately, making the old testament feel alive and new in a way.

talking about all things sweet lady ashley today! this sister-in-law is the queen of fun and has the best eye for design. she is always up for a party and takes the time to make special moments. enjoy learning about this amazing sister of mine. love you ash!

in our personal lives, as well as in our careers, it’s easy for many of us “people pleasers” lol to feel that happiness & success only come from giving our all and even more often -- way more than what is expected or anticipated. don’t get me wrong, it served me well in so many situations -- but the expectations started to weigh on me and the only way i could feel less anxiety, depression & stress was for me to let go of it all, reevaluate, and make a new plan. let’s look at 5 examples of how the principle of under promise & overdeliver can make a great difference in our lives and the lives of those we love and associate with along our journey.

how do you go from mere busywork to something more substantial and sustaining in learning? how do we know that something is true when there are so many sources asking for our attention? it’s back to school season and many of us inside & outside of the classroom are pursuing truth. we’ll chat about possible good, better, and best when it comes to learning for our children as well as for ourselves.
