There is something special and personal about a letter. It is a glimpse into someone else’s life that you’re allowed to enjoy. The Letter Box started out as an idea, not to resurrect the art of writing letters, but to share through letters the love and beauty that graces my life every day. I have always been prone to musing about things, moving slowly through life, often distracted by the tilt of a flower stem or the opalescent hues of a winter sunrise. As an artist and a writer, I like to record those precious joys to share with others who may need to slow down a bit, or who need a lift. The Letter Box is a whole year of letters, each illustrated with my watercolours and with delightful photos, and written with you always in mind.

The Perfect Place is where you are the most you, doing what you love most, and appreciating your own uniqueness. This book supports and encourages the creative soul with inspiring messages along with beautiful, hand-painted, watercolour sketches by the author. A different work of art graces each page, and each thought-provoking message is designed to give you a lift, a gentle (or sometimes, firm) nudge, and may even help you consider your life in a new way. Read or meditate on the messages one at a time; feel free to write or journal on the pages, or simply allow yourself to be inspired at any given moment. The Perfect Place opens a door to loveliness, with the simple vignettes and colourful sketches from everyday life. Reflecting on each simple message will keep your mind on positive thoughts, and hopefully encourage you to press on with your creative dreams.

Catching Brilliance offers a way to be inspired and motivated every day with a short, positive encouragement, presented beautifully. Adding to its special charm, each inspirational message is accompanied by a beautiful, hand-painted, watercolour sketch by the author. Each page is designed with a different work of art and a thoughtful message meant give you a lift, a gentle nudge, or to help you think about your life in a different way. You can read the messages one day at a time, write on the pages, or just enjoy the experience. Catching Brilliance gives you a "passport," to loveliness, with her paintings of places she has travelled to all over the world, or through the simple vignettes of everyday life. Allow her illustrations to help you expand your soul’s dreams. Meditating on each reflection is a great way to keep your mind on helpful and positive thoughts, especially when life throws negative things your way. A perfect gift!

Have you always dreamed of being able to escape to faraway places with all their exotic allure? This book is for you. I created a most delightful coloring book, featuring the romance and uniqueness of southern France. This is not only a book of gifted sketching; it is full of my own personal memories of having lived there and loved it. You will enjoy nuances of little things a non-artist might miss, small details which make you feel as though you're right in the South of France, experiencing its sights, sounds, and delights. Travel with me and lose yourself in the fantasy of the South of France any time you feel the longing to escape. You can create your own special Sketches from the South of France experience! These images are small coloring projects. PLEASE NOTE: They are NOT postcards.
