word art with background FINAL .jpg

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.

Stay Strong

“ A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and
endure in spite

of overwhelming obstacles.” 

-- Christopher Reeve Actor, Director, Activist,
Author and Superman

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.
