This is the mantra I have imparted to my Autistic Daughter. She can become fixated on "what's next?" And I will interrupt her perseverating with a simple question: "What am I going to say?" 

​

And she will sigh and say '"Enjoy Now." She has taken to speaking the mantra without prompting when she finds herself worrying about what is next on her agenda.

​

This two-word philosophy has worked its way into my art. I am pivoting away from the *representational and moving towards creating spontaneous expressive paintings meant to capture the magic of the moment. Whether that be a moment of peace, happiness, or dreaded anxiety, let us all find a way to "Enjoy Now. 

​

Thank you for coming on this journey with me. 

​

*I continue to be available for commissions of pets, portraits and other representational art. I am just no longer independently creating this type of art unless it is for my wonderful clients.
