From a Land Called Honalee

My whimsical children's paintings have fallen in love and found a place they can call home!  Honalee is a new children's boutique in Pittsford, and the owner Mary, has graciously welcomed some of my framed originals.  They are a perfect fit!  Check out some of my work on display and for sale...and check out her website!  Adorable!

Artsy Mamas 2012

Here's to another passion of mine, and another successful year of Artsy Mamas.  AM is a group of my closest friends who all happen to be moms and all share the passion for helping and celebrating others.  We appreciate art, music, and all things handmade, and wanted to provide a venue for artisans to sell their wares, display their talents, and raise money for something near and dear to us. This year's focus was to raise money for the Ana Duo fund in memory of Laura Rider.  A successful night it was!

Who is the amazing photographer? My brother-in-law, Rich Paprocki. He photographs events, weddings, people, etc. Find him here:

Funky Fresh Ladies

I'm lovin' Funky Fresh Paints for kids, but I also love trying new things.  With a little space rearranging and a more mature generation, we have Funky Fresh Ladies! This was a great night of meeting new friends, sipping and eating, and creating something new!

Mirror, Mirror Made From Trees...

I'm so excited about this piece, I may just need to keep it for myself.  Two of my most creative girlfriends, Meredith and Alison of Sweet William Vintage, presented me with this funky mirror to spruce up a bit.  Soon after that, I took a walk behind my house and found some freshly cut birch branches. Yes, I dragged them home because I  just knew they would come in handy at some point.  Since I love to decorate with natural elements, the perfect combination was born...a vintage mirror with birch disks.  Love!

Who's Buggin' Out?

I loved this group of gals. I was totally impressed with what the 3-7 year olds could do!  This was our first day...getting our feet wet with Lollipop-Top Trees...
