find your beautiful voice...

…..and sing your creative heart song!  

…artwork created especially for "Be Inspired" Blog Hop...

 I am so grateful every single day to be living my passion as full time artist.  I paint and illustrate, and i teach and inspire.  My greatest joy comes from sharing my art and helping others find their own creative voice.  I've taught and created art professionally for over 30 years and it's still a privilege to see others influenced by my process and ideas.  Even more exciting when it ignites their own unique creative spark!  


The internet has allowed me a platform to share my work and network with other artists in the licensing community.  I learn so much from these most giving and unselfish people who are always willing to share their stories, experience and support.  We share and celebrate each other's talents every day.  We inspire each other.  We learn from each other.  And the best thing is that we always maintain our own unique style and original best.  There is never a need to copy!

We ALL have gifts, we ARE gifts………so why "RE-GIFT"??!!

So in sharing this BLOG HOP with my fellow artist friends, i support the idea of celebrating our talents and artwork, but feel very strongly about copyrights and originality.  It's just not okay to take someone else's work, switch it around a little and call it your own.  You have so much to give, be authentic, find your creative voice and surround yourself with those who will encourage and bring out the best you….go sing your creative heart song for all to hear!

C'MON OVER TO OUR BLOG HOP!

"BE INSPIRED ARTIST BLOG HOP" organized by Brenda Pinnick, fabulous licensing artist!  Click on the links and visit all of my creative friends as they share their views on "being original" and staying true to yourself, it's a great education.
