Title: “Dream” by Kokabella
As I was unpacking and hanging wall art, I shot a photograph of this handmade porcelain charm and instagrammed it before polishing it off in Photoshop.
I printed it out on platinum paper and wow, it was so gorgeous, I am definitely going to add it to my store when it launches on etsy (without the watermark of course). The colors are vibrant and shiny!

Photographic Art title: “Taste” by Kokabella
I had just completed this photograph with wording, textures and elements when I found this article by writer and creator of zenhabits, Leo Babauta. It went along perfectly with my new art piece. Special thanks to Leo for such wise advice. Enjoy! [Read more...]
For the past seven months, we’ve been living at the beach. We leased a fabulous little cottage-style furnished casita in a beautiful gated community in the hammock area of Palm Coast. As many of you know, we moved there for a Montessori school for our toddler. When it didn’t live up to our standards of a traditional Montessori program and was not even a recognized Montessori school, we had to bid farewell to our shabby little beach life and move to Jacksonville where there were Montessori-accredited schools.

Wow, time has been flying by like crrrrazy. After driving back and forth to Jacksonville for the last month, it’s finally time to pack up the coffee maker and a few other things and start nesting in the new house! It’s absolutely gorgeous!
I’ll be away from blogging for a couple weeks while we get settled and I get my studio set up. I’ll see you all real soon.

My week’s off to a bright and mystical start. It’s amazing what a perfectly smooth cup of coffee will do for a designer!
As I created this piece of photographic art to print on canvas and also mail out for Mail Art 365 at IUOMA, I thought; “Isn’t it odd how predictable change is even when one has well thought out plans?”
My cute little mini-me will turn three in a few weeks. One thing that has been set in stone between my husband and I is the importance of providing her with the best possible format of learning as possible. She has been in Montessori School since the age of eighteen months and it’s been an incredible experience. When we relocated from Austin to central Florida for a terrific career opportunity, we struggled with finding a good school. We were able to move to a beautiful vacation property at the beach in Palm Coast for the sole reason of finding a local Montessori School for her. It didn’t take long to figure out that the school was not at even close to being a true, traditional Montessori school. (A class of little boys and girls wearing nothing but underpants and tops in the classroom, not potty-trained? Unsanitary and degrading to say the least. That was just the tip of the ice burg).
So I asked myself, where is this road leading us next? [Read more...]
Title: “New life, new beginning.”
This was such an easy photograph to create from. New life, new beginning. Simple as that. We may not be new to the world in the birth sense, but it is never to late to change your mind, change the way you see the world and make a new beginning.
