We all have jobs of some kind or the other. I’m so blessed that I get to do what I love the most and that is art. I teach art to the K-12 at Wylie Prep. I can’t imagine doing anything else in my life. It really isn’t a job it’s a passion! Teaching was not on my radar but I’m so glad I was lead to this profession. It is such a rush to see these kids create things...

Monday was the first day of teacher in service. All the students return to campus very soon and I’m so excited.

When those kiddo’s walk into the studio everything will be ready for them to create. Every year I take the time to look back on years of teaching and learn from what worked, what was a wreck...

I remember those days with my own little girl and things haven’t changed. Anika wanted green...

On my trip to San Antonio to celebrate my anniversary a month late I did some junk shopping. I lovingly call it junk because most of the things I do start as junk then I transform them into a treasure. Most of my finds are on their last leg and are in need of great repair, but this little find was not so bad and didn’t need any repairs just an update and some color. My dear friend Rosa had...

I personally struggle with things in my life that don’t have a clear answer. When you have something that clearly has life left in it but it’s been broken. So for the past couple of years I have had this table runner in my linen closet. Its made of burlap and for years it was on my dinning table.
