"Nature always wears the colors of the spirit" Ralph Waldo Emerson. I have always loved and appreciated art in all forms, though I am in no way a trained artist myself. Most of my works displayed here, represent nature in an abstract way. When I do get the chance to paint, expressing myself through this form of art is healing to my soul. I am the mother to four wonderful human beings, have worked many years as a substitute teacher and hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature. Most of my paintings I consider patterns, abstract images to be enjoyed on clothing, housewares and various textiles. Thanks for taking a look.
