This is one of several calendula flower compositions I have. This one is paired with a quote of Gandhi's that speaks to me. I am always expanding my inventory and am happy to customize designs or do commission work.
I have several blogs which act as a combined website. Two are tutorials and Nightblooming Cards acts as a "parent blog". The sidebar on it, gives ordering information, background specifics, and more. It also acts as a complete collection of my card and print designs with flowers. The other site, Brightlight Mandalas, has a complete collection of my mandala designs. ******* I want you to have a place to go to view my complete works, and the last two sites provide that between them. As I get too many posts, however, I want to offer a quick introduction which offers a sampling of featured works. It will give you an idea of what I have to offer. ******* Welcome to my quick introduction, and if you want to see more; check out the other blogs at these links: ******* Nightblooming Cards http://nightbloomingcards.blogspot.com/ ******* Brightlight Mandalas http://brightlightmandalas.blogspot.com/ ******* Mandala Tutorial A http://brightlightmandalasprocess.blogspot.com/ ******* Mandala Tutorial B http://nightbloomsprocess.blogspot.com/ ******* To get free downloads of my images, go to my latest blog at: http://nightbloomingfreedownloads.blogspot.com
For 28 years, I ran a board and care home for chronically mentally ill in Tucson, and really enjoyed the work; but creating art has always been a part of my life.
I have worked in various media including oils and acrylics, stained glass, cloth and wood; but I have been concentrating on digital art for the past few years.
I have never made my living with art, but I do take it seriously. I don't want to give up my care giving work, but some supplemental income will be helpful.
I specialize in designs using flowers of the Arizona desert and think my creations reflect my appreciation for cacti and nature in general. Many of my designs feature mandalas, and I pray that all portray beauty and harmony.
In 2012, I moved back to Maine after 31 years in Arizona. I grew up in Maine, and am happy to be back. I will continue to add to my Cactus Hugger designs reflecting the beauty of Arizona, but will be adding designs that come from an appreciation of the beauty of Maine and New England. I am continuing work in care giving, and always like to do gardening wherever I am. I now live in the country and have chickens. I plan to add milking goats and more.
