Hi and welcome to my blog! I am a photographer, artist, writer, and cancer survivor. I live in New York, USA with my husband of 7 years and our pug Bosco. I love taking photos of landscapes and nature. Last year I picked up a paintbrush for the first time since I was a child and I haven't put it down since! I like working with acrylics and mixed media. I also like abstract art. I have recently begun incorporating my photography into my mixed media art. For me creativity quiets my mind and connects me with myself. I have learned so much this past year and met wonderful creative people along the way! And I hope to meet more through this great event! To learn more about the One World One Heart Event click HERE!
My giveaway for this event is a print of my abstract painting titled Embrace. The original painting was completed using acrylic glazes on birch wood. Image size is 6x6 inches printed on 8x10 inch matte photo paper.
To enter for a chance to win this print just leave a comment! Make sure your comment will link me back to your blog so that I may contact you if you are the winner. This open to all bloggers worldwide. The winner will be announced on February 17 on the bottom of this post. Good Luck! You can see the list everyone that is participating in this wonderful event HERE!
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have enjoyed your visit! I am looking forward to getting to know you along this blogging trip around the world!

I really like your abstract painting. It speaks volumes to me. The colors are basically the nature and the climate in winter where I live, on an island out in the sea on the west coast of Norway.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a wonderful week!
