After my divorce, painting took me out of panic mode and into a serene, calm place. I could absolutely lose myself.

The Open Hearts design was inspired by my Mom's advice that only when you keep your heart open can you best give and receive love. My hope is that the design will become a universal symbol of keeping an open heart - open to life's new experiences, open to allow something new and beautiful to come in.

My father always told me, you can only be your own best. In other words, if you feel you've done your best, you've done well enough.

I think the good thing about my face is it has always been expressive. With Botox that goes - not what you want as an actress.

This is something I consider Enlightenment to be - and that is to give intellectual or spiritual understanding and to be free of ignorance, false beliefs or prejudice. Able to honor each person as they walk their own path and not infringe our own personal beliefs onto them but to accept what ever form that carries truth for them

What I love about watercolor is that a lot of happy accidents occur.

What I know now is that we're all interconnected and that's a really beautiful thing. We have links to everyone else in our lives and in the world. Different people have different journeys for different reasons. You can't judge, but you can celebrate that there are connections everywhere.
