then
when i was two i discovered art. like many little girls between
the ages of two and seven, i had a passion for purple. a
purple crayon, nubby, broken in two places, paper torn past
the pu, could not be forced from my small fist. i practiced
scribbles from 9-11 in the morning, broke for mr. rogers, and
then i put five more hours in…until the day came when i
undertook my masterpiece.
my palette was purple (of course) and my canvas measured
3’ x 2’. i took into consideration everything from line and space
to rhythm and balance. i worked quickly as not to lose my
inspiration.
and I must tell you it was brilliant. i smiled immediately and
stepped back to make room for my audience. she gasped
loudly. she grabbed me. i remember it as a kind of shrill
question, “julia! you colored the bathroom sink purple!?!”
and so it began…

and now
i have a degree in art therapy with a concentration in fine arts, specifically ceramics. this
is all fine i suppose. but more importantly i have this squeal-with-glee, jump-up-and-
down, clap-my-hands kind of passion for and in no particular order…
i absolutely love to spread the entire lot out on my art table and just stare—eye candy at
its best.
what makes me most giddy with delight is carefully selecting the perfect combination of
these materials that, when manipulated with authentic handcrafted artistry, will yield an
entirely custom design, able to remain at the end of the day a singular standout.
