Painting with Intention – Oh Hey Bigfoot Heather

Painting with Intention – Oh Hey Bigfoot

Why I Paint Sasquatch & The Truth-Seeking Theory   I paint Sasquatch as a metaphor for the pursuit of truth—especially the kind that feels elusive, intimidating, or even “big and hairy.”   Sasquatch represents the mysteries we often avoid because they challenge our comfort zones. Through art, I explore the idea that truth exists whether we acknowledge it or not, and that seeking it requires…

A Gift – Pausing in the Present Heather

A Gift – Pausing in the Present

Something uniquely wonderful occurred to me throughout the past 12 days over Christmas and New Years.   The holidays and days lined up to create a larger pause than I could recall. And this is what I accomplished.   In the past twelve days I:   Had two trips to West Virginia.   Said goodbye to my grandmother.   Was a pallbearer.   Wrote a…

Through Beth’s Eyes Heather

Through Beth’s Eyes

A year or so ago, I got to meet an artist whose work really connected with me and so much that I was compelled to purchase a piece from our local art gallery.     After buying my second one and declaring I am hooked, I learned we had the same zip code - she lived locally - and I was almost as shocked as…

What the Hill? Heather

What the Hill?

So I've come to the realization that a phrase told to me over and over, I had allowed myself to adopt what I thought made sense:   “Is that really the hill you want to die on?”     I don't know if that's a hill I really want to die on.   Fast forward to today, it hits me. What does choosing what hill…

a Little Diddy about Suds in Buckets Heather

a Little Diddy about Suds in Buckets

If you enjoy country music like I do, you’re probably familiar with a song that just turned 20 years old by Sara Evans Called Suds in the Bucket. It went to #1 back then in top played song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06o-EYH9svs I heard it on the way to Costco this morning, after staying up last night with the hubs because we agreed neither of us remember seeing…

The Grace Collection – Jesus Art Heather

The Grace Collection – Jesus Art

The journey to spreading love and joy to others in artful repurposed ways continues for me. You're welcome. haha. All kidding aside, I reflect alot on what I'm drawn to and what I create to understand myself better. Similar to painting Sasquatch fun paintings and dissecting that, I truly enjoy making prayer candles out of thrifted shot glasses and making Jesus mirrors and wall out…

Michigan, who knew?

Apparently most of the people in my life, that's who. Rough outline of the journey up Now. We get it. Pretty cool up north. You gotta see it yourself. Pictures don't explain that this is really what clear water can look like. I've seen similar in Cozumel but not that calm, and I wasn't dozens of feet above it in a boat still seeing the…

Giving Prayer a Shot HeatherPandemic Thoughts

Giving Prayer a Shot

About a year or more ago, I realized I wasn’t showing gratitude to God as well as I was for a while and that perhaps that was the reason I was so miserable at work and regressing back into stress health issues. It hit me square in the face like, duh! I bought a traditional prayer candle and kept it front and center in my…

Finding new connections

Oh imagine the irony of it all. I had lunch with someone and she was so delightful and we get along so well and she gave me all these advanced, intelligent suggestions on how to leverage my art and let more people see my fun.

Picking Our Poisons Heather

Picking Our Poisons

I can't shake the dread in my heart and mind for what has happened to us all because of the explosion and burn pit epicenter that's called East Palestine. I'm sick of plastic. Why do we need so much of it? If there's anything those Greta children and Bernie hippies should consider, it's not natural resources killing us and our planet. It's the chemical laboratories…

Signing Employment Contracts Heather

Signing Employment Contracts

I've been reflecting somewhat on all my past employee contracts I’ve signed over the years. When you sign employment agreements, they can really start to get technical. Seems the more complex the title they want to give you while under the contract brings with it more contractual understandings in the form of policies and termination grounds if the contract isn’t fulfilled. One of my favorite…

Turns out I love Jesus and birds

I just realized something about myself that made me stop and laugh out loud with the epiphany. Y special career spidey-skill tends to be connecting dots to identify trends to build patterns to influence the behavior to sway in the way of the company. I promise, it’s always authentic and true – if I know we can’t fulfill a brand promise I don’t say it.…

A Truck Full of Monkeys

I remember when I saw this headline last summer, my first thought was, "Why isn't anyone talking about the fact that there was a truck trailer of 100 monkeys? Monkeys that you would only maybe see a handful of at a zoo you paid to view?" a HUNDRED Monkeys. On a truck trailer. Just cruising down the Pennsylvania turnpike. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYFYxcGTc5g First reason that is way…

Imperfect Sunglass Art Heather

Imperfect Sunglass Art

I like to make things. By 'Things' I mean that. Things. I'd like to hope they're defined as artful things. Maybe it's glue or nails or paint or paper and sometimes all the above. I like to try new things to make new things from old things. I read about a Japanese belief called Kintsugi. 'Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by…

It’s a CATastrophe out there.

I’ve been thinking a lot about cats. I feel they are a symbolic analogy to our current elitism plot to destroy America and all the working class within it. It starts with feral abandoned cats in my yard. So here we go. I have a cat problem. A rather daily one, actually. It’s been approximately four years of ongoing irritations as whether you like to…

Especially when we’re still adjusting our eyes to this new truth while more…

3 Love Binge Shows that are Real Real

Alright. I'm really into seeing and watching what happens when different human dynamics are thrown into a reality show. Not the slutty dumb ones that further push the divisions of what we see. No, it's the hidden gems of showing the real in those most effected by broken policies for profit. If you want to see it, and think about what you're experiencing while watching…

I’ve changed a lot of ways I spend my time that I get to choose how to spend. As I get more and more aligned with letting a job be just that and seeing my youngest start learning to drive – I seem to have more time to determine what I do while it burns away anyway. Less people need me, I suppose. After I…

Cauliflower Food for thoughtHeatherPandemic Thoughts

Cauliflower

I grew up calling those white flowering florets wrapped in plastic at the grocery store call-ah-flower. Now I can't say if it just took me 45+ years to notice it, or it's because it sounds so different it struck me to pay notice now. But sometimes, I hear English-as-a-first-language people refer to it as cuh-lee-flower. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that…

We're not supposed to bring up all the bad stuff that everyone has accepted. You know, the stuff we’re used to. I am. Here it goes. If we accept that some people are more deserving than others, something happens. We get used to stuff, because, obviously, it's not us. It's them. We are used to looking away at the homeless. We are used to commercials…

Time. You can share it, donate it, commit it, dominate it, sell it and cherish it. It spends all the same, alone or together. Where were you when 9/11 happened?

Beneath the Gates

I decided to dig out the mixed media art mindset I used to have. At times when there were no words, I would make art speak for me. Been a loooooong time as words tend to come easy for me. Yet the hours spent in searching, cutting, gluing and mixing textures and pictures to articulate reality is actually rather relaxing. I recommend everyone explores ways…

The Silence I Fear Most. Food for thoughtHeatherPandemic Thoughts

The Silence I Fear Most.

The silence keeps growing. More and more silence.  We talk to less people.  We share less and less original thoughts.  We fear what may happen to our job, friends, family, marriage, children ... if we say what we think. And feel.  We walk on egg shells without crushing any more. Tread silently. Not realizing what all this silence means.  What staying silent will mean. They have…

Pitbull and me.

Thank you, Pitbull. I can't believe it took nearly five months to stumble upon this truth he spoke openly last fall. His wisdom on the double standards and how many CEO's 'buy low and sell high' validates my thought of why more influencers like Pitbull need to speak out, regardless of the short-term ramifications NOW. Perhaps he believes it's time to buy low and bet…
