I am still thinking of the wonderful Art Journaling Retreat this past weekend at Ephemera Paducah.
So grateful for the days filled with friendship and art!
It was a dream come true to spend time painting with Mary Beth Shaw, Karyl Howard, Debi Adams, Cynthia Silveri, Kristin Williams, Cathy Costelle, and to make new friends, too!

What a memorable three days it was!
I am thankful for the experience and memories made that I will treasure forever.
Being in a flow state, I didn't take a lot of photos, but do have a few to share.

This is a pic of my well-loved StencilGirl stencils on my work table! So much fun!

And here’s a peek at my work table with a gorgeous city map and vintage flash card from
​my dear friend Debi Adams along with some painted paper I created with a gel plate:

More painted papers created with acrylics, a gel plate and my Map with Roundabouts stencil:

It’s always exciting for me to see other artists use my stencils and rubber stamps to create art!
Below are some sightings of my StencilGirl stencils and RubberMoon stamp designs being used creatively

Tina Walker created this inspiring journal spread with It's A Small World Latitude Stencil.

Valerie Sjodin made this gorgeous May calendar with my Compass Stencil, Map Stencil and It's A Small World Latitude Stencil.

This exquisite art journal spread was created by Debi Adams with my Map Symbols Stencil and It's A Small World Latitude Stencil.

This 10" x 10" mixed media canvas by Jill McDowell makes me swoon! She used my Second Star on the Right and Straight on 'til Morning StencilClub set to create this work of art!

And check out this dynamic and colorful piece by Carolyn Dube incorporating my Compass Stencil and Latitude rubber stamp!

Today I'm sharing my newest painting entitled Explore.

​It layers collage, inks, and acrylics on a 12" x 12" cradled masonite panel.
I used my Vintage Luggage stencil, Neighborhood Map stencil, City Map stencil, Map with Roundabouts stencil, Let's Go 1 stencil and Let's Go 2 stencil from StencilGirl® Products!

Hi, everyone! I'm excited to be sharing two new mixed-media pieces on watercolor paper that I created with my NEW Abstract Maps & Vintage Luggage stencils I designed for StencilGirl® Products!

My first painting entitled Voyage Dreams layers collage, ink, and acrylic on gessoed watercolor paper. This painting incorporates my Suitcase stencil.

It was such fun incorporating techniques I learned in Roxanne Evans Stout's workshop Wildland Creatures, Exploring Stenciling​ with my new stencil designs!

These two new pieces are available in my Etsy shop, too.
