The Journey: The Passionate Home

It all started with a tea table and then I had to save my marriage! Yup, some things can just get out of hand and that is just what happened to me one afternoon when I entered into my garage with a small square oak table, a handful of dollar store paints and a paint brush!

So let me just back up a bit.

Our good friends had just had a baby girl, it was 2002 and I had just taken a One Stroke painting class where you learn how to paint bird’s nests, flowers, and that sort of thing. They had asked if I would like to practice my new craft on an old table they had. I could make baby Kate a tea table for her room, so of course I jumped at the chance to be an artist.
