Being an artist gives us an ability to communicate with brush and paint, a stone carver’s tools, or a typewriter, more than the stuff of words.

2011 was the first full year for the High Road Artist blog. As 2011 slides away into the past, I thought it would be nice to revisit the most popular posts.

My good friend, Julie, is going through a major life transition right now. So several of us gathered at her home the other day to help her make it her own.

I am so grateful to be an artist because ever since I started painting again, I see everything more clearly; I experience life more deeply.

I remember whole years during my corporate life when I arrive and leave work in the dark. I love being an artist because I control my own schedule.

I wake most mornings without an alarm, with the sun, or later if my body needs something extra. I love being an artist because I can wake up when I want.
