Or, why I started blogging. Ya know, whichever. I love blogs in general. I love seeing a glimpse into people’s lives and knowing I’m not alone. I love reading how they react to the bad in life and celebrate the good. I tend to get in the grumpy, “I hate […]

Now An Award Winning Artist!

June 14, 2016 in Art Life by Elisha

It’s wrong. Yes, some of the best artists ever were poor artists and died penniless, but can we just stop? Do you know why these people died penniless? They weren’t appreciated. People didn’t recognize genius when it was right in front of them. How could they? That’s part of why […]

May 17, 2016 in From Me To You by Elisha

My Grandma passed away a week ago. My heart is broken and I feel lost. I know every day will get better. Then worse and then better again, until I have more good days than bad. I feel like I never want to paint again. My cousin reminded me that […]

Here’s the link to my Studio Vox feature. I’m really excited about this write-up because they came to me. That always feels good. I found my old cell phone that acts as a hot spot so I can get online for a few posts here and there. I have very […]

I worked all day on labels and a commission/workshop brochure. We’re talking 10 hours because I’m that kind of slow. 6 trial prints later and at least the labels are exactly how I want them. The dogs pointed out they had not been to the dog park since we’ve been […]

Dog Park After Dark

February 18, 2016 in Nomad Life by Elisha

Rothko, Picasso, Pollock. Those poor guys. So misunderstood by the masses. I, and I’m sure you, have heard over and over how bad these artists are and a kid could do it, etc. Maybe even said it yourself. I know I hated Picasso. His figures were grotesque. I saw a […]
