I came up with naming this page, “Word Art” because I was moving away from creating art and exploring my creativity by using words. But I knew I wasn’t going to abandon my art, so I went looking for words that might resonate with others. I am saddened by the way the world is conducting itself these days, so I picked words and cut out the letters over and over an created a piece of “Word Art.” By taking my time and selecting the fonts I wanted to incorporate into my art allowed me to think about the word that I chose. Each month I run an ad in “The Artful Mind” with one of my words. The ads are called, “Word of the Month.” Thanks for stopping by
and I hope some of my words might speak to you.

PEACE
“May peace rain down upon the world."
-- EAC

Respect
“I don’t need your acceptance, I don’t need your tolerance, I need your
respect for my humanity”
--Billy Porter. William Ellis Porter II is an Emmy-winning actor,
singer, dancer, writer, producer, director, and LGBTQ+ icon

Love
"To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides"
-- is often attributed
to David Viscott, a psychologist and author.



Stay Strong
“ A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and
endure in spite
of overwhelming obstacles.”

Diversity
“It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept,
and celebrate those differences”. ~Audre Lorde was an American writer, professor, philosopher, intersectional feminist, poet and civil rights activist.
Tenderhearted
"So, what does the word “tenderhearted” mean to you?
I asked two smart and clever five-year-old twin sisters what it meant to them.
Islay: “It’s when you
have a tender in your heart.”
Emerson: “Chicken Tenders.”
I could have waited until they
were in college, but I love their innocence and their honesty. And now I am hungry for some
chicken tenders.
