Meet My August Ambush Model…Barb Dryer!

August 13, 2018 By Gail Leave a Comment

What pure pleasure it is to meet women who understand abundant life is created by individual desires and attitudes. One such woman is Barb Dryer.   Barb exudes a sparkling energy, one of possibilities, kindness, and gratitude, and it’s hard not to feel uplifted in her presence.  This past weekend I had the chance to chat with her while attending… Read More

I’ve had a number of requests to let folks know where my next art fair shows are occurring. Thank you for caring! I’ve been busy creating, printing, framing, matting, and more, and that’s why I’ve been a little laggy in the blogging department.  I promise to get back on schedule soon! Here we go: This coming weekend, July 27-29, my… Read More

The artist mixer, held at Northfield’s Imminent Brewing, meant an opportunity to meet other local creatives. Nonetheless, there I was, eyes down, hiding behind a plate of excellent food truck offerings. Nom, nom, nom. Before long a woman took… Read More

If people like you, they’ll listen to you, but if they trust you, they’ll do business with you.” — Zig Ziglar First, I am horrible at self-promotion. All my Minnesota-Lutheran-Introvertedness trembles at the thought of mentioning my art and its availability for sale. Somehow I want you to say you love/want/will buy my creative work instead of me blathering on about… Read More

Introducing My April Silk Scarf Ambush Model…Cheri Holm

April 10, 2018 By Gail Leave a Comment

Cheri Holm is the type of woman who gets things done. On the day I visited her business, Cheri’s Flower Basket, customers were ordering flowers, shopping women’s clothing, and perusing her impressive selection of handmade fudge (Real cream! Real butter!). Cheri flitted from task to task, question to question, as efficiently as a hummingbird gathering nectar. It’s not easy to… Read More

        Carve your name on hearts, not tombstones. A legacy is etched into the minds of others and the stories they share about you.” ― Shannon L.

“Progress occurs where truths are questioned.” ― Aniekee Tochukwu Ezekiel Aging. A word, a state of being, scrutinized more closely than George Clooney in a speedo. Almost. What does it mean to be a woman aging in a culture that is not fond of growing older? What scares us most? What body changes are the worst of the worst? What… Read More

February 23, 2017 By Gail Leave a Comment

“I’ve been thinking I might want to start a blog…where do I start?”   That is a question I’ve heard often over the years. I started my blog in 2011.  To say I was clueless is like saying Mt.
