A Christmas Filled With Love, Joy & Creativity

There’s something magical about this time of year. As December arrives, the world seems to soften—lights twinkle a little brighter, music warms the air, and our hearts open to all the little joys that make this season meaningful.

In my studio, this is when creativity feels especially alive. Colors seem deeper, memories feel closer, and inspiration arrives in the smallest moments: the glow of an evening sky, the rustle of palms in the winter breeze, even the quiet hush that settles over my home when the cats curl up in their cat perch and the Collies rest by my side.

This season reminds me that creativity is a form of love—an expression of gratitude for the beauty around us, and a way of connecting with others without ever speaking a word. It’s the same connection I felt with my mother in our later years, when images and colors became our only shared language. The holidays bring that memory back to me with a warm and healing light.

So as Christmas approaches, I hope you find a moment—however small—to create something, to breathe deeply, to notice a spark of beauty that feels like it was placed there just for you. Whether you paint, cook, sing, decorate, or simply take a quiet walk in nature, let creativity be your companion this season.

I hope your days are filled with love, your homes with joy, and your hearts with inspiration.

From my tropical Florida studio to wherever you may be reading this—

I wish you a Christmas wrapped in warmth, wonder, and beautiful moments worth remembering.
