Hello World...

let me introduce myself; I am an artist from Ozark, MO.  My loves in life include my Savior, my husband, my family, teaching, being creative and sharing.  Before this summer I could easily share my creativity with my students in art class, but then I was laid off due to budget cuts.  It was a sad day and a happy one too!  The Lord has plans for my life (as He says in Jeremiah 29:11) and I am along for the ride. 

Pursuing my own art always took backseat to dinner, time with the family, household duties, extracurricular events, lesson plans and so on.  When the lay off happened I started praying about what was in my future.  I have always had great ideas of how to expand on my art I did do, and now I had the time.  I continued to look for a teaching job, dream about expanding the type of art I offered and pray for guidance.  I had no idea about a "real" job, but felt a peace about pursuing my art. 

While on a family mission trip to the "cornfields" of Illinois I brainstormed names, places to sell, and lots of other "stuff".  I made lots of brainstorming webs/maps, took lots of notes and began designing new pieces of art.  I created a new form of art in 2009, that I call Hide and Seek Art, after teaching a lesson on famous artist Joan Miro.  Take a look at the photos to see what it is all about!  Also check out my website by clicking on the button to your right.

 

If you live around Ozark, MO, make plans to attend the Ozark Craft Festival in the Finley River Park.  It will be September 30, October 1 and October 2.  The hours are 9-6 on Friday and Saturday, and 9-4 on Sunday.  I am going to be in Row 16... come by and say hi!
