I've been creating with pen and ink again! I prefer pens to pencils as I love the fluidity and smoother movements. I have collaged painted fabric to create a colorful garden!
I have created two of these in the inverse. Beautiful striking black and white flower art by floral artist Sharon Cummings. A unique design with classical elements and botanical beauty.

***Someone gave me a throw away plant with only one leaf left. So I blessed it and put it up in an oak. This is the result! I had to make some art out of it too. :)
I’ve been here for a year 🥳 and it’s about time for an #intro. Hi, I’m Ms. Mac. Pronounced ‘Miss Mac! Miss Mac!’ and accompanied by a warm hug. Former runner, avid reader & gardener. I’ve lived my life backward. Grew up in #Michigan; didn’t really have a childhood for … reasons. Put myself through Smith College in #Massachusetts. Fabulous women’s college, can recommend. Lived in #Chicago, then #Bisbee, Arizona. Got married, had a couple awesome kids, then went to law school. University of #Arizona. Go Wildcats! Had a career in civil, criminal, appellate work, mainly as an Assistant US Attorney. Had a bonus baby — now a teen 🫠 — and another marriage. Then family needed me, so I retired. Cared for my mom with #dementia til the end. Accidentally fell into the Best Job in the World: public school #librarian & community #gardener. I’m finally giving back to my community, to this k-8 #school full of beautiful, loving, enthusiastic kids from all over the world. I am the luckiest woman ever, knock wood. 🌈 #today
The garden is taking shape! I am so ready for Spring! I am not a fan of the thick pollen in the air as it makes breathing difficult and sticks to my contacts, but it means the trees are healthy. :)
