Eleven Paints, Five Paintbrushes, One Palettte, 31 Days in Treasure Beach I "heard the cry of my Ancestors and followed Spirit home" to Jamaica, West Indies, the birth place of my parents. I picked up myself, my two sons, (15 and 13) and a few bags and leapt. It has been an exhilarating and immensely challenging experience but I find that as long as I have a creative outlet I can continue to breath on my own, and lesson the stress on me emotionally and physically. Interestingly enough, I honestly am in a peaceful place spiritually. In July 2011, I decided to paint a picture a day throughout the month. I had no set theme, I simply allowed myself to be present with myself in each moment and allow inspiration to come forth intuitively. In the end, I completed twenty wonderfully whimsical paintings.
