In Honor of Moms I'm donating 15% of profits
from my art sales* Throughout the month of May
to Oasis: A Haven for Women and Children located in Paterson, NJ
Their mission: "to change the lives of women and children by breaking the cycle of poverty through compassionate programs designed to feed, clothe, educate and empower women and children in need."
*Excludes works that are on exhibit at other venues this month.
HELP ME LIFT UP MOMS & FIND ART TO LOVE Dear ,
So much has been going on in and out of my studio last month that I haven't had a chance to keep in touch. My husband and I had the rare opportunity to travel without our kids to London for a long weekend, which was followed by taking our kids to Boston for another long weekend over spring break. Since returning I've been hard at work on a secret project, which you can follow on Instagram, and teaching art lessons. (As a subscriber, you will be the first to learn about the secret project and purchasing opportunities).
So, without further adieu, let me catch you up to speed on what is coming up!
Proceeds of May Art Sales to help Moms An email came through my inbox recently from a local charity, Oasis, asking for donations to support their moms. With mothers on our mind I thought now is the perfect time to launch a month-long mission to raise awareness about Oasis
and donate 15% of profits from my art sales. It's a great time for you to add something to your collection and help support a cause that, as a mother, is important to me. Read

Summer Workshop at Peters
Valley I'll be teaching a weekend workshop, Finding Flow in Watercolor, at Peters Valley, nestled in the beautiful Delaware Water Gap National Park during August. Find flow, creativity, and calm in nature, using watercolor as your vehicle. Many of my adult students have found this already, but now
it's an opportunity to get away and get outside. Learn More.
Happy Mothers Day to my Mom, to my sister who is celebrating her first Mother's
Day, and to all of you who are mothers. Every day you make small miracles happen. I hope we can work together to make some small miracles happen to the Moms in Paterson who need a lot of miracles.
