Art Journaling: Making a Difference in the Lives of Children
As one who has been helped in many ways by many wonderful people during my lifetime, I feel very strongly about helping others. I try to donate to charity and/or give my time to multiple causes each year. Whether it’s buying Secret Santa gifts for homeless children, or donating food to the local food bank, [...]

Self-Portrait Friday: 8/27/10
Happy Friday! Today’s self-portrait shows a ring on my right hand, as well as detail shots of the ring. Made of sterling silver, this ring was custom-made by an artist I found on Etsy. (I actually ordered three or four things from this vendor – Kathryn Riechert) “Exuberant imperfection” is a phrase I borrowed from [...]
Mad for Movies!
I LOVE watching movies! I enjoy them whether we watch them at home or in the theater, but I especially enjoy seeing them in the theater: the big screen, stadium seating – the works. Thankfully, my husband is a movie buff too. I do see some movies with other people, and some on my own, [...]

Something Sweet (cookie recipe included!)
At the risk of sounding conceited, I’m a really good baker. I don’t do anything fancy and mostly stick to cookies and the occasional cake, but I do enjoy the process. And though I like the baking itself, and love to eat the resulting treats, my favorite part of baking is sharing what I’ve made [...]
Exploring Inspiration – Volume 1
Inspiration is often an elusive thing, and I find it interesting to track the progression from initial inspiration to a finished piece – with my own work, and with the work of others. I thought I’d share this collage, Dissect, as an example of how one element – one material – can inspire an entire [...]

Melody Nuñez – Endurance Athlete?!
I’m a half marathoner – a walker – and have walked over 867 miles in the last three years. It’s not spectacular in the grand scheme of things, given that there are many athletes out there doing much more, and faster. However, it is a personal victory for me, given my lifelong struggle to find [...]
