Description

After an accident during a routine surgery, I’m frequently left bedridden, require 24-hour care, and I'm rarely capable of having visitors or traveling more than 100 yards from my house for the past 16 years.

Thankfully, being isolated and alone doesn't mean I'm lonely. I have God, my caregiver and loving husband, Todd, and my never-ending creativity and imagination.

I still enjoy visiting new locations, but now, I travel through my imagination. When I'm stable enough to sit at my easel, I paint. But on the days I'm bedridden yet strong enough to use a laptop, digital art allows me to explore new destinations and create worlds others can experience also.

I invite you to stroll with me along the beach at sunset. Breathe in the fresh ocean breeze and feel the soft, warm sand as it imprints our every step.

We slow down to explore this intricate sandcastle strategically located between the rocky cliffs and ocean waves. It's home to a family who loves the beach as much as I do! They spend their days splashing in the water, witnessing God's powerful nature, and enjoying clouds that dance in slow motion across the open sky. They, too, know the art of fueling the joys of childhood for a lifetime.

Then, arm in arm, as we stand with our feet in the warm sand at the ocean's edge, and the sun dips beyond the curvature of the earth, we witness the lights turn on inside the castle, one at a time, and smile.
