My latest works are totally different from anything that I’ve ever done.  Art is funny that way, you may start off making something and you love, but as you evolve and grow as a person and an artist, your perspective changes and so must your art.   I think most of what I create comes about because I let some aspect of a fear go. 

Sometimes while I’m working it occurs to me that I can truly do anything that I want.  In life, we have to put the brakes on so much for everything, but when you create, it’s like being on a non-stop roller coaster going 90 miles per hour; with no brakes.   I learn more and more about myself with every transition and I love more and more the art of creation, it gives me a freedom that I don’t experience anywhere else in my life.

Have you ever looked at your face in one of those magnifying mirrors?  It’s pretty scary if you haven’t had a facial in a while.  All the nooks and crannies and lines that don’t seem so apparent show up right there in front of you.  If you’re anything like me, you vow to “never look into one of those again” but alas, Bed Bath and Beyond has them strategically placed so you can’t help yourself.  

Although I don’t like examining my face up close, there is something so intriguing about looking at small objects up close.  One of the many things that I do is macro photography.  How cool to see something so miniature appear larger than life.  Here are a couple of my favorite macros pictures, they include a doll close up, a pencil lead, found bottle caps and, my daughter's french manicure (she was about 6 years old then).  I love how very cool mac photog is!
