PUBLICATIONS: Planet Thrive has invited me to exhibit some of my Goddess paintings on their wonderful new website!! Here's a bit about the great work they're doing in their own words: "Healing ourselves & the earth: PlanetThrive.com is a grassroots community for personal wellness with a focus on environmental and other chronic illnesses. We offer a healing space for those on a personal health journey. Have fun as you explore our rich content—anonymous health profiles, green classifieds, personal healing blogs—and advice columns with master herbalists Susun Weed and Stephen Harrod Buhner. Meet others with environmentally based illnesses like Lyme Disease, Chronic Fatigue, Chemical Sensitivity, and Fibromyalgia. Share collective resources with health practitioners, healers, activists, and other health-conscious, environmentally aware people. Join us as we heal at a global pace!" To see my work, go to the Insight and Expression sections then look for e-cards & Susun Weed's Herbal column.
That's all for now! Hope you can visit these exhibits, events and websites! Enjoy the Spring!! And feel free to contact me regarding artwork & commissions! (and take a look at my new line of greeting cards, Spirit~Art, on my site now!) Thank you!!
