One night I had a dream where I made a new friend named Johnny Port Aransas. I woke up laughing because he was such a friendly fellow with such a fabulous name and he came from my imagination... while I was SLEEPING! So, that day my family and I went to the garden store and purchased a beautiful seven-year old October Glory Maple tree to plant in our front yard. We decided to name him Johnny Port Aransas, of course. The art that follows is in honor of that dream and all dreams brought to us by our imaginations that so want to show us all the emotions we have available to us, in this case humor and awe. It's also in honor of that day spent tromping through the garden store with three of my best people.
This blog will inadequately capture my thoughts on topics from art, to inspiration, from education to equity. I am who I am, who I create myself to be, so the nature of me will shine through: as a mom, a wife, a teacher, a leader, and a seeker.
