nearly 3 years ago i broke. emotionally i hit rock bottom, feeling that my circumstances and afflictions in life were more than i could bare.  luckily, luckily i found art again.  it had been more than 8 years since i had picked up a sketchpad, but creative opportunites began to spring up all around me.  in the fall of 2008 i met in the woods of new hampshire with other artistic elves and nymphs and my soul drank deeply of the creative current that i found there.  from then on i knew that i was an artist.  i felt that i had risen out of ashes. crossing with the wisdom from my previous life and soaring with new wings i've embraced my art and flown.

out of ashes for me is a reminder of where i've been whilst moving forward in liberation.

my plan for this space is to muse on my art: my processes, projects, frustrations and failings, insights and joy.
