One of the many joys of my life's work these days is helping others tap into their creativity & learn new ways of expressing themselves. It's fun to see what unique beauty comes out when we have the time, space and supplies to reflect &  create. 

When I received an invitation to join the United Methodist Women of New World UMC in Arlington to lead a creative reflection workshop on "forgiveness" for their weekend retreat, I was honored & delighted to take LAR Art Studio back on the road again. I love to travel.  I love opportunities to go on the road with my craft. It gives me so much life to experience the many pages of the world, meet new people & soak in the inspiration of life unfolding beyond Houston.

My time in Dallas met all of my expectations and more. I met so many brave women who were willing to dive deep into the well of creativity within to explore what "forgiveness" & freedom.  Along the way I got to see some legit art on the buildings & along the streets of Dallas, taste some of the best coffee I have had in Texas, breathe in the delightful scents of the Texas wildflowers and do what I love, all with my best friend & husband, Cleve, by my side. 

It was all a gift.

Below are some scenes from the trip.

I am delighted to share my new collection of handmade beaded bracelets with you. I've found great joy over the past couple of weeks in designing & creating the bracelets below. 

Each piece has a sophisticated & classic charm that make them perfect for a special occasion or for an everyday look. You can wear them alone, stack them or give them as a gift. 

To celebrate the launch of this venture, the first 5 people who purchase a bracelet will received a free Mixed Media Art Jewelry Tray by LAR Art.

I am really honored to have work published in the May/June issues of Alive Now Magazine on "Poverty." Alive Now is a spirituality magazine that seeks to nourish people who are hungry for a second way of living. 

It is so exciting and a bit surreal to see my photography and words in print. The photograph is of an early morning sunrise in Collierville, TN, during my first contract weekend gig as a full-time artist.  I woke up full of wonder and an overwhelming sense of contentment. The poem I wrote after studying the life and work  of Barbara Jordan.
