A New Leaf
Kim Thompson
Leaf Necklace by Kim Thompson





"The chief beauty about time
is that you cannot waste it in advance.
The next year, the next day, the next hour
are lying ready for you,
as perfect, as unspoiled
as if you had never wasted or misapplied a single moment in all your life. 
You can turn over a new leaf every hour if you choose"

Arnold Bennett

Always Looking Forward
From Dr. Seuss to Mother Teresa... there is no shortage of wise words.  So many of our local artists have a wonderful way of looking at life.  They may not express their philosophies in words, but their creative energy says it all.

Lisa Tuchek
Holy Cow by Lisa Tuchek





Lisa Tuchek is always telling us that "today is our day".  Her expressive style and positive spirit inspire us daily.  This Dr. Seuss quote reminds me of her.


"Today is your day, your mountain is waiting, so get on your way."

Dr. Seuss






Anita Francis
A Victorian Posy by Anita Francis







Anita Francis creates amazing art from discarded books.  Her wonderful art perfectly reflects this quote from Seneca.

"Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end."


Stan Harmon
Stingrays by Stan Harmon








Stan Harmon's spirit of adventure has led him to travel all over the world.  His artwork is a creative journey into amazing new ideas and techniques.



"And you? When will you begin your long journey into yourself?"

Rumi






Susan Mason
Ibis in the Morning by Susan Mason




Susan Mason always makes me smile.  She imbues everything she does with love.  Love of family, love of the beautiful down east environment in which she lives. 


"Let us all meet each other with a smile, for the smile is the beginning of love."

Mother Teresa

A worthy goal.  Happy New Year!
