Faces of Guatemala 2014, Part 1
Jul 16 2014 · 0 comments · Community Service, Personal, Travel ·0
In one respect at least this year was no different from last year in Guatemala; I was drawn to the faces of not only the children and the women of the village but also the beautiful hard working faces of our team. When I returned home and reviewed my photos, I found I have dozens of beautiful smiles and dark eyes, some with turned up corners, some more serious. I hope to do a series of paintings ~ The Faces that Touched my Heart. Stay tuned! For today, I wanted to share some of the precious Faces of Guatemala 2014…

“Never doubt that a small group of concerned citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”
~Margaret Mead
My experience in Guatemala last year was so profound, that I decided to volunteer again this year with Team Kelly Kole through Catalyst Resources International. I really wasn’t sure what I would take away this year. Certainly, I knew more of what to expect as far as the conditions, the food and the poverty. What I didn’t expect was all of the questions I had about the future of the children, the education of young women and the corruption in the government.
As best I could, I’ve tried to convey my experiences and feelings about this year’s trip through my words and pictures. Lots of pictures…

A Poem & A Painting: A Summer With 1000 Julys
Jun 23 2014 · 0 comments · A Poem & A Painting, Art Exhibits & Events ·1
While I was in Guatemala last week (more on that soon, another incredible experience!), my assistant Jen took her daughter and a friend to visit a few colleges in the Carolinas. One of their stops was in Charleston, SC to visit the College of Charleston. While in Charleston, they also had a chance to visit Galerie on Broad, one of the newest galleries in Charleston’s vibrant arts district. I was hoping they would have a chance to stop by as this is a new gallery where my friend, artist Sandy Welch, has recently started showing her work. I am so thrilled for Sandy and I hear her paintings are getting a wonderful reception from visitors to the gallery!

South Shore Art Center Festival of the Arts, Cohasset
Jun 18 2014 · 0 comments · Art Exhibits & Events, Artists ·0
There are so many traditions that happen in my area in the summer that it is almost hard to keep up with them~ but it’s a lot of fun trying. Father’s Day weekend in the quaint seaside town of Cohasset, the South Shore Art Center hosts their annual Arts Festival. “South Shore Art Center Arts Festival mixes the best of small town New England summer festivals with an uncommon attention to detail and commitment t0 presenting quality art and handmade craft” ~ an apt description to be sure.
A Painting & A Poem: A Cup of Tea

By the time you read this, I will be in Guatemala working with an amazing group of people to help build a home for a deserving family. One of the things I’ll be bringing with me (by request) is this painting. I love the poem I found to go with it, there really is something special about a cup of tea…and the teacup you enjoy it from.

Nothing Says Summer Like A Porch

Just in time for Summer, my dear friends Gina and Joe, have just completed a new porch at their seaside home.
I teased you last month with a few photos of the construction of the porch which was done by Morpheus. Let me just refresh your memory…

There is nothing that says ‘Welcome to my home’ quite like an artful and unique door handle. Here are some of my favorites from (where else) BlogTour Milan. I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I did!…
A Poem & A Painting: Guatemala Sisters
Jun 09 2014 · 0 comments · A Poem & A Painting ·0
As I get ready for my 2nd mission trip to Guatemala next week, I am filled with emotion. I am looking forward to re-connecting with the Greene family and other friends who live there as well as the family whose home we built last year. That being said, this year I know the emotional tug the children have on my heart and how I have carried their struggles home with me. I thought this beautiful poem I found would be particularly appropriate…
