Another cold surf Day
I got together with my surf girl meetup group today and it was brrrrr outside. This time I can say I surfed...baby waves. My confidence is still low but, I had a great time and that's really all that matters. Speaking of cold water. Surfing in January requires a wetsuit here in Central Florida. Two … Continue reading Another cold surf Day
Surfing in January
Admittedly, I can barely call what I did today surfing. I did, however, get some paddling practice in. The waves were small but the conditions were beautiful aside from that. The water temp today was somewhere between 64 and 55. I put my wetsuit on over my rash guard in hopes of adding an extra … Continue reading Surfing in January
Outer Banks, NC Surf Trip
I have to say, the only barely rideable wave I found all week was at the Hatteras lighthouse break.
Florida Surfing Spring Break
I realize that for Floridians it's too cold to lay on the beach. But for those of you up north that want to try your hand at surfing, here are a few tips.

We drove an hour … Continue reading Surfboard Shopping Turns to Buying

Welcome to My First Art Show
In January, I was blessed with the opportunity to show my artwork at a local gallery. In Longwood, there's a small warehouse that houses the Kaleidoscope Gallery and Venue for the Arts. This was a lovely opportunity to get the first show jitters out of my system. The week prior to the show, I dropped … Continue reading Welcome to My First Art Show
The Master Painter
Today I'm sharing with you my love of the painting process. You may have noticed, if you are on my Facebook or Instagram pages, that I post pictures as I go. I'll start with what is called the under painting. Then, I'll add a layer for the background, sometimes it's the sky, ocean, mountains or … Continue reading The Master Painter
