Creating with passion. 

I began painting as a gift to myself when faced with a soon-to-be empty nest.   My mom painted with oils when I was growing up, and  I remember the joy she gave and received with her paintings.  I love sharing that connection.

I have been a writer for much longer, adapting genres through the changing seasons of my life from poems, articles, and devotions to stage scripts to promotional and business communications.  During the child-rearing years, my writing centered mostly on the PTSA newsletter, grocery lists, and my ubiquitous journal.  From my own experience losing my parents, I am currently writing a book designed to support women's hearts and ease relational regret during their parents' last years.  Working title:  Saying Good-bye, Together: Navigate Family Drama and Keep Peace in Your Parent's Final Season. 

If you have walked through that difficult time and have a story to share about what went well or what went wrong with your family, please contact me via email or Facebook.  If you're interested in receiving an early copy of Saying Good-bye, Together, send me your email to be placed on the list.  It can make all the difference knowing that you're not alone and hearing from other women who have gone through this experience ahead of you.
