Etsy Update.

Lately my Etsy shop has been left in the dust of the holidays, my surgery, my ongoing illness, and traveling halfway around the world. So, it needed a lot of tender care this morning. My friend Jen from Cleveland was the inspiration for this update/spring cleaning (I know, it’s not spring yet. But a girl can dream, right?). Jen has been a great support for me and my art. She’s an artist too, so she knows the challenges of making art. You can read about her life on her blog. It’s filled with lovely life lessons, and lovely art. A perfect combination I think. It’s funny, when Jen and I lived in the same city (Cleveland) we never hung out. We were just friends in the sense that we knew each other, but never went out of the way to get coffee or anything. Then last year through the “power” of Facebook, we began a little friendship. I’m glad we did!

Jen and her husband Dave are currently working on a new home project for their daughter Bella’s room. They asked me if I would do a custom size of my giraffe print for them.  It’s going to be a “Creamsicle Kingdom”, and I can’t wait to see it all done, with my little print hanging on the wall with other great art. I am humbled they asked me. It’s quite a treat.

This morning I also added to my shop some prints from my trip to Uganda. These images are especially dear to my heart. They were taken with a deep desire to show the humanity of Uganda, the beauty. The children there changed me forever. I will never be the same, and part of me will always be in Uganda. I can’t help it. The kids there are just so dear and precious. They have such joy, such a desire for life.

If  you have a moment to spare and want to see my new Etsy prints you can head over to my shop here.
