Meet the Face
Behind the Posts

Me, and The Other Half of Me...


That's my late husband, Al.  He was the one who kept me from going into a total panic attack when I didn't know what I was doing.  He was my Balance.  And I will be forever thankful for his life.  He kept me encouraged and always helped me to realize dreams...like my artwork, and this Blog.  He was the reason I arrived on time at every art event that I committed to.  He did the prep work with me and stayed awake with me into the wee hours of the morning while I worked on last minute details of the coiled vessels before each event...He was my 'Ride or Die' Partner - always encouraging, always supporting.

​

Al passed away on October 12, 2022...the day after my 75th birthday.  But he's still with me...still my "Driver".  He still pushes and encourages me to keep moving forward. We are still spiritually connected.  He left me his strength.  And my Faith in That Power Greater Than Man, my Everlasting Love for Al and the Creativity that keeps lighting sparks in my mind is what keeps me uplifted.  Our story and life's journey continue to spark the inspiration that keeps me moving forward. 

 

And so, I dedicate this Blog project to my 'Ride or Die Partner' - to Al... For his Love, his Strength, his Never-ending Patience and his Valuable Life.

 

THANK YOU, AL!
