I was extremely fortunate to have my booth next to Kath in last month's Ann Arbor Women Artist show. It didn't take long to discover this very creative, warm hearted person working next to me. I'm intrigued with her print making ability. The beautiful colors and shapes she creates clearly are reflective of her passion and spirit. They caught the eye of many who were passing by.

The above is a photo of one of her pieces which she provided!

Are you creative? What is reflective of your spirit? Leave me a note to describe!

I love the name of my art business, Lifetime Art Impressions. At the time I created the business, I knew that someday I would be able to capture memorable moments through my art and I had hoped people would actually pay me to do it:)

I was going through my divorce and, at that time, decided it was the right period in my life to at least create and register the name. I remember thinking, what is memorable and warm? When it came to me, it felt right. It took me 8 years before I actively started writing and drawing for a living. And, what amazes me even more today is that all aspects of my work (as I continue to broaden my work) still fits the name perfectly.

People commission me to write an inspirational piece about their loved one. I'll create it, overlay the piece on one of my nature photos and I'll press a flower and frame the work. It is really touching when my client gets the artwork and I watch their eyes well up with joy. I also get the same fulfillment when I bring life to a sheet of poster board and create a drawing for someone.

These types of impressions become timeless!

Tell me about your most memorable impressions and how they've impacted you. Share your stories!

As an artist I absolutely appreciate color in my life. I'm someone who loves nature and the beautiful color palette it offers. Most of my clothes fall into warm and soft color schemes because they seem to compliment me the best. If you come into my home, you'll get an "artsy" feel. Not in a modern way but more in appreciation of all of the color tones reflecting different moods in each room. My main bath portrays the mood of a spa, pale purple and chocolate brown accented with beige tile. My bedroom is a soft mint green capped by a chocolate colored ceiling and accented in taupe. These are the rooms I consider to be my escape and retreat into a safe sanctuary. For a rush of excitement, I stroll into my dining room which is colored with leathery looking rich burgundy which sets off the dark stained oak crown molding and floor. My kitchen offers a venue of creativity with pale orange revealed through a velvet beige texture capped by a white ceiling swirled with pearl colored glaze. I have the universe depicted in my youngest son's room and a collage of our favorite sports team, the Red wings in my oldest son's bedroom. I have fully embraced color in my life and I'm really aware of how it impacts us. Life would be dreary in black and white and so, I'm so grateful for my choices!

The whole concept of this article is based on my experience from writing my book. It was a journey I really had to go through to feel healthy again. I feel like it memorialized my Dad and many of the loved ones I have lost during my life. Besides the memories I will always have, they are now existing in a published form for anyone in the world to view. It has been a really tear jerking but necessary process that I'm grateful for. Do you have any similar experiences you would like to share?
