About Me

My photo
I'm pretty driven by all that is artistic. I enjoy and believe in the therapeutic qualities that art has in it's various mediums. Many of my works depict the colors found in the ancient healing stone azurite, hence the name of my blog. I find comfort in drawing and painting without preconceived thought and love watching how patterns and compositions come together unexpectedly. I'm a pretty laid back person, sometimes all over the place and overly contemplative, but for the most part normal, I think. Spend lots of time with my family and every waking second with fred. I can't wait til the day all the puzzle pieces are in place and we can travel somewhere together for once.

children's books

The other day a box of children's books were donated at work for the kids waiting room in the clinic. After rummaging through a few for a little boy I babysit, I remembered how much I love children's books, just their simplicity, vibrant colors and illustrations. Whether they're teaching a word or a lesson or some sort of moral, they just really capture a really cool reality that most adults forget about. Hey, maybe I'll make an adult children's book about how to be a kid? I dabbled with the idea before, but I think I might attempt to write one....hmm, need characters. Something that hasn't been done yet.
