From the design side of life … Another book design completed and off to London with author Matthew Thomas Baker. Dubbed a "practical guide for living an awakened life", this is a fascinating and gorgeous book (if I do say so) filled with wonderful stories, meditations, and i…

Endings start like this (1) and finish like this (2).

Signatures are important and there’s always a brief moment of trepidation before committing pen to canvas - then you just breathe out and go for it. Happily I’ve only had a few mess-ups all these years! But still…🤞

I must have flowers, always, and always. –– Claude Monet
…..
Apparently so must I.

It’s been a super busy year of design work for me, which has meant less time painting. Today, though, I got to dip into those delicious paints in earnest again, and discovered that a joyful…

Shot this beauty yesterday and thought I’d share some fun facts you may or may not know: Beloved by bees, digitalis purpurea, foxglove, lady’s glove or common foxglove, is both beautiful and deadly (do not eat them!). They’re also the source of digoxin (or digitalin), a medi…

My beautiful Rumi Tree Art Gallery family.

We come from Holland, Iran, east and west coast US, and found each other in Sedona, Arizona where we've made some really good things happen.

Theo Schildkamp, Shanin Renee Dockrey and Sahar Paydar, you are extraordinary.

Captured by a guest while taking a break to rest my back during our very well attended opening reception at Rumi Tree Art Gallery this past weekend. (Apparently something they said made me laugh. I like that!) Great show, great people, nice sales - and more pics to come. 😊
