a new blue world...

Welcome to my new creative space.

It belongs to my starting-over-life. Fresh beginnings on new shores with very few belongings, but with all the richess of my experiences in tow. Somewhere between Pacific mountains, Atlantic oceans and European skies, I realized the color blue connects my worlds.

Blue is the color of everything familiar... blue sea, blue sky, blue jeans, blue eyes... Blue is the color of comfort... the color of home... the color of me.

Coloring takes me back to the beginning of happiness... my childhood. I can smell the crayons and feel the wax on my fingers... see shades of aquamarine and cornflower and the difference between blue-green and green-blue... Head bent in pure concentration... it's the same feeling I get today when I'm absorbed in the creation of something.

My coloring blue creations are evidence of where I've been and who I am -- and a witness to the Creator of both.
