A Love Letter to Art Moms~
You are continuously creating a new path for yourselves…your creative energy is almost always in overdrive! You both live in Sioux Falls S.D. but live out of your suitcases for much of the year! As traveling gypsies you are tired but, you spread laughter and goodness on every road you cross! No mater what state you arrive in for each art show (crazy, frazzled, exhausted, frantic), you always find pure goofyness and comfort in each other…and you always go home transformed and inspired to save the world.
Your artwork is all original and the light it spreads onto the world is amazing and self-fulfilling. You aspire to be great moms and love your family more than life itself. You say it’s artwork you do, but really it should be called “heartwork”
Your pieces fill tiny corners in hospitals, gift stores, churches, day-cares, nurseries, and much much more. Art Moms greeting cards are sealed with love and shipped all over the world…TRAVELING MILES AND MILES as people receive them from friends and family. Your goal to spread happiness by art is clearly working…because if people come up to you and tell you “HEY, WE DON’T HAVE ANY SPARKLE” You will help them find some! “Happiness is not outside waiting to get in, it’s inside, waiting to get out!”
What you’ve learned from each other is ~
~you can propel yourself into your dreams
~life is not about the big things
~having paint all over your hands is a sign of a very successful day
~YOU can proudly state “we color for a living”
~Sometimes you are simply happy to attempt to keep up
You live for being each other’s foundations…you thrive on each other’s ideas…and together you are a crazy pair topped with a side of ice cream and a huge dollop of silliness
You both love~
~coffee, yoga, Gracie, reading, trinkets, baubles, color, creating, scribbling, giving and family
Every night before you collapse into bed ~a little bit tired and a lot a bit B-L-E-S-S-E-D , you are thankful for the paint on your fingertips and the joy in your heart.
oh Art Moms~I love you so~ you fill the world to the tippy top with love!

I love your greeting cards and wall hangings. They have brighten our apartment at the Ronald McDonald House, and when we are in the hospital they brighten up Danny’s Hospital room. I am thankful that this week Danny has been able to do normal 6 year old things and is not in the hospital and have gotten good reports on the CT scan
