Well, it had to happen.... I have now offically joined the crazed world of blogsters in my family. I am a preschool teacher by day. I subject my 3's to constant messy art projects (thank goodness their parents have become very understanding). Two of my girls always end up with paint in their hair so I decided to put pink streaks in my hair this week as well... ;) My boss did not seem to mind it too much! LOL.
Early morning and late afternoon I am known as "Mom" to my most inspiring work of art yet, my son, Ethan. He is in 1st grade and Tiger Cubs. We stay busy. OMG!
I am an artist. I attempt to avoid mating the word "starving" with it. I spent many years creating mixed media paintings with watercolors, colored pencils and acrylics. Over the past 6 years I have been focusing on a new avenue... stained glass. WOW, do i love it! Even if I am not able to be a full time artist at the moment, I do find myself slipping into my studio (ok, the reality... its a work table in a garage at the moment) at odd times and happily lose my sense of reality for a while. What comes out are fun, whimsical, kinda organic designs that just love to kiss the sunshine. They are made with happiness and love. Each piece is unique and has its own special characteristics.
I hope my weekly meanderings invite you into my "not so normal world" and make you laugh. My life as an artist, teacher and single parent certainly leaves room for LOTS of good stories! Jump on in and visit me frequently! I'm glad to have you here. You can never have too many friends.
Hugs,
