Be True to YOU

Be who you are. Have the courage to accept yourself as you really are, not as as someone else thinks you should be. 

To be true to yourself takes courage.It means that you will not let others define you or make decisions for you that you should make for yourself. 

That's what this new piece is about. I think it's so important for all of us to be mindful of this, but especially for young teenage girls who are figuring themselves out and can fall into peer pressure so easily.

Be honest with yourself and how YOU feel, Be true to the very best that is in you.

Boot art to help Stomp out Breast Cancer

I took an old cowboy boot , painted it  and used my mixed media to turn it into an art piece. I wanted this piece to be about inner strength, hope, friendship and support from sisters, girlfriends, family and women.
It's now going to be auctioned off at a  Boobs On the Move charity auction to raise money for breast cancer research and prevention.  Painting on a cowboy boot was fun and a challenge, and it feels good to think my art might really help such a worthy cause. I hope it raises lots of money!
