On a beautiful summer day in Michigan, I visited my mother's garden and witnessed her new canna lilies that were 10 feet tall! They are a bulb plant and need to be dug up every year, so as much as I like to garden, I've never grown them.

I sat on my parents' deck and marveled at the size of this beautiful plant, the varying shades of the leaves, the size and shape of the leaves, everything about it. Midday sun and no camera but my phone challenges one to be creative! I took the challenge and spent an amazing moment in time admiring and capturing this beautiful giant in its glory.

Needless to say, I will indeed be growing them next year. (laughter). Thanks, mom, for taking those muddy bulbs in a cardboard box at the gym and turning them into something so amazing. You always were a visionary.

My memories begin as a five-year-old-free-spirit discovering and creating anything 'beautiful.' I was bold, creative, curious, and loved adventure. It stands to reason that when I spray painted the neighbor's black hearse a sparkling shade of silver that I was destined to be an artist. Now that I'm in my 7th decade, my free spirit has settled down a bit (the hearse owner would be glad). Still, curiosity, creativity, and an eye for beauty define me. Lots of things inspire me in my art. I love traveling, and have been afforded the opportunity to see wonderful places all over the world. I then share our travel destinations with others so they can experience the beauty out there too. Another passion of mine is ornamental gardening. Flowers...
