“What talent is lost to the world, for want of a little courage.”

                                                      – Sydney Smith

Creating takes courage.  Taking materials and organizing them into something beautiful is so intimidating, especially when you are surrounded by others who make creation look so easy.  However, there is a trick I’ve discovered that really helps- begin.  Just begin painting, begin collaging, begin scrapbooking and soon enough, you’ll see your talent blossom and your fear will diminish.  

Thank you for taking the time to look through my galleries.  When I think of where I was just a few short years ago, I’m so grateful that I had the courage to take that first step.
