Thank you for visiting my art blog! I am an artist in southern California, and this blog is about my journey into art. My art is mixed media original art, and very often my vehicle for sharing is a greeting card. I paint and ink and stamp and rip and shred and glue and emboss, but no designer paper is harmed in the making of my collages. It all starts with blank paper.

Artful Prayer

A dear friend commissioned me to make her a piece of art using two prayers that meant a lot to her.  She did not specify anything else, so I had complete freedom.  What I enjoyed most was putting symbolism throughout, of both our faith and our personal connection at church. For example, the scallop shell is a symbol of St. James the Greater, patron of our parish.  I included a letter on the back describing the symbolism.  My friend's husband presented it to her for Mother's Day, and she loved it.
