Cy Twombly has long been one of my very favorite abstract artists. I have been fascinated by his mark making language, his use of color (and sometimes complete lack thereof) and that he was diverse on canvas, paper and assemblage. Recently, as I stood in front of many of his original works a friend turned to […]

Being a female artist and business owner has allowed me to walk out interactions that are more raw and exposed than many other professions. I teach and create with a majority of women which means intimate travel, small groups and often very real and open conversations. Through my business consulting and also lifelong relationships with […]

I have found that the best moments are often those moments in the in-between. Little amounts of time where I can be present if I choose. It is in those moments that a book slowly gets read over a month, I capture my thoughts through writing, I have the face to face conversations, I sit […]

As a creative, one of my favorite things in the world is to step into the creative space of another. I love when an artist shares their space, how they use it, a peek into their favorite tools and even what they are currently working on. I hope you will join me in the An […]

  With a $200 camcorder we created our first online art course and made over $35,000 by the time the course started.   That was 13 years ago and it changed everything with our business and put us on a new path with our creativity. I almost missed it though!   When I had that […]

This business began over 17 years ago and the #1 question I get repeatedly is asking how we have created this life. How have we worked together as a family, built something that is diverse, travel all over the world teaching and adventuring and still in a place of being open to change? I hope […]
