Gratitude for my Volunteers!

As we approach Thanksgiving, I’d like to shine a light of heartfelt thanks upon my team of dedicated volunteers who provide invaluable assistance to me both in my classes and behind the scenes!

Firstly, I’d like to thank my Art Together Volunteer Painting Companions! I currently have about 15 of them. Thanks to their loving support, seniors with disabilities and impairments who participate in my group workshops have the assistance that they need.

I’d also like to thank my friends and family who come to my home and help me test supplies and painting techniques, and provide their invaluable advice on everything from product development, marketing research, and organizing my studio!

I absolutely love having collaborators in spreading seeds of joy and love through art! God bless each of you for your dedication, love and gift of your time and friendship in helping me help others.xo

Christmas Market Dec 7 8am-2pm

Join me and dozens of other artisans and vendors at this year’s Christmas Market at St Francis de Sales Catholic Church in Purcellville, VA! I’ll have selections of my new hand-painted journals on hand as well as Art Together art aprons and other small gift items I’ve created using my paintings.

Mention seeing this on my website and I’ll give you a free gift when you come! No purchase necessary. 🙂

Free Paintings for Neighbors

Q: What to do with way too many paintings?

A: Find them a home!

I had the best time giving away nearly 100 demonstration paintings to nursing home residents and neighbors this month! I never knew cleaning out my studio could be so life-giving!
