Finding Peace Through My Artistic Sweet Tooth . . .

This blog is a journey which chronicles my "sweet tooth" in working with clay, fabric, paint, mixed media and whatever else happens to capture my attention. I have found such peace working with my hands. I believe we all need hobbies to help us cope with the stresses of living in our world. It is my hope that this might inspire you to find a creative medium which speaks to you . . . and find peace. Namaste.

calm in your heart


“peace: it does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. it means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.” — unknown

It is my hope that you find inspiration and comfort from this beautiful quote as much as I have.
Namaste.

I am a music teacher in the Santa Fe Public School District in beautiful Santa Fe, New Mexico. Music was and still is my first love. I have recently discovered a love for working with clay, fabric, paint, paper and many other artistic mediums. Art and music are a wonderful escape from the stress of daily life for me. I hope you enjoy looking through my work. Paz.
