Hello Friends,
I can’t believe how much time has gone by since I’ve last blogged. So much has happened, good and bad. My Mom passed, Covid hit, I lost 90% of my Petsitting business and I had cancer. But I wouldn’t have changed any of it because I think it’s made me stronger and my faith has grown. Everything has been a part of God’s plan.
I hope and pray that you are all well and that you have been creating lots of beautiful things over the last few years.
During the Covid lockdown I was looking for something to divert my attention from the news so I decided to create and publish a class on SKILLSHARE and I discovered how much I loved teaching. So I created 3 more classes and have loved every minute.
During the time when I was caregiving for my Mom who had Dementia, I watched hours and hours of Skillshare classes to keep me in the painting loop. I was way too exhausted to paint much so I just watched painting classes. After my Mom passed I looked at the hours I had watched and decided it was time to make my own class. It has been a wonderful experience.
I was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2020. I had surgery and then went through months of chemo. As I was recovering last year I drew my first “Jesus Girl” as I call them and I’ve been painting them ever since.
I’ve also started painting florals in acrylic and mixed media and love working with so many beautiful, bright colors and textures.
