💖Dreams come true!!!! (30+ years later) Ever since I was a little girl and saw people play 2 pianos…I KNEW I would do it some day!

That day came last weekend. I flew ✈️ to Denver to meet the other adult piano 🎹 students and we had a recital.

🎹Getting to play my first 2 piano piece with a concert pianist is a bonus! And a Bach piece too!!

Thank you jamieshaak. I’m eternally grateful for your incredible instruction, joy and rigor. And friendship! 😍

So great meeting all the other adults students and hearing them play!

And making Korean food for everyone.

I’ll be back next year! Can’t wait to figure out my next 2 piano piece!

I’ve been wanting to “upcycle” my tote bags of Maizy (my first pet portrait ) and had these 2 cuties paint 🎨 on top to see what happens. 😁

😍 The focus on these two girls. So fun watching them create.

‘TIL our next art project. 🖼️

“Shadow Soul Portraits”

My modern interpretation through the ancient practice of Sumi-e painting.

Blending old and new.
Precision and intuition.
Shadow and spirit.

Using an art form rooted in simplicity and essence to explore the unseen parts of ourselves — the fragments we hide, carry, and become.

I believe everyone home should have that “special nook” where you can cozy up, read. Relax. Analog all the way.

This is mine.

Real paper.
Real ink.
Real people.
Real memories.
Real orchids.

Real peace and quiet.

What’s your favorite spot to chill and get real and connect with yourself?

🎄Merry Christmas 🎄 and wishing everyone an amazing holiday.

I found this great rendition of “Have Yourself. Merry Little. Christmas” made famous by Judy Garland in the movie “Meet me in St. Louis. I LOVED that film as a kid.

Sharing my love of piano playing. Happy Holidays 🎄

PHASE ONE: Christmas tree decorated or as I like to call is “My 3-D” art project. I make an ornament for my tree every year…not sure yet…but the holiday creative juices are flowing.

Christmas 🎄 isn’t just a tree, it’s a boxful of memories of those who made, share, and gifted me these ornaments over the years for me to build. It’s earned.

Who else feels the same? 👇🏼
