is a painter with her "girls" in more than a dozen galleries. She writes, "As I work on and complete each painting, I am struck by how similar this process is to my life in general. Starting with imperfect wood (we are imperfect as people), and using a wide variety of materials and techniques (work, relationships, art), we can transform the imperfection into something beautiful. It also reminds me how I want to approach my life: when I get stuck or am afraid that Išll "ruin" a painting, I remind myself that this is My Painting/My Life: I can put in it whatever I want."
