Via

Art communicates beauty. Via means "way" in Latin, and I believe we each have our own way to create. This blog celebrates unique mediums of expression.

"View from Above" poem about the Mississippi River


I wish I could feel

the rocky banks that angle down to the squishy bottom.

The mix of steely rock

and soft mud,

Like a nutty chocolate pudding pie.



Slide down that bank

and create my own grooves-

my own path:

as I descend onto my belly and wiggle in the mushy mud pie floor.


Until I look up,

beckoned by the white light above me dancing on the water's surface.

Hear me St. Louis!

The Healing Power of Art & Snow Days!

Getting a snow day still excites me as a 29 year old woman! However, instead of rushing into a Chewbacca suit and delving into mounds of snow, I want to simply curl up into a mountain of fleece blanket. Still, my heart beats: "Do something!" Thus, through some journaling, out it comes, "Do art!" I'd been putting off my St. Michael panel for a month! and now was the time. 2 hours later--there it is, hanging next to my door, painted--borders and all. Delighting my soul and that of my guardfish goldfish Porky, who sits right next to my newest creation:)

Morale of the Story: Do art; it feels gooooood!
