First and foremost, I am an artist who loves to watercolor and illustrate on the iPad. If I am not coming up with my latest dessert to paint, Christmas is the next subject that most interest me.  Santa Claus Plays Golf~ Golf is a very popular theme that people look to buy for occasions and holidays. So, I created Santa and Mrs. Claus playing golf for wrapping paper, greeting cards, and other holiday decorations.  ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ Santa Playing Golf Collection Santa Helping Mrs. Claus With Her Golf Swing Throw Pillow Santa Christmas Cards, Invites and More Santa Helping Mrs. Claus With Her Golf Swing Santa Christmas Cards, Invites and More Santa Christmas Cards, Invites and More Ultimate Santa Collection Selling Now At Zazzle Baby shower party themes during winter are very popular.

One thing you may not know about me is that I am the proud owner of three Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and a Labradoodle. They are my sidekicks, shadows, coworkers, and best friends. Last year, when I went to create a story for Christmas, my dogs inspired me. With my watercolor and pen illustration, I drew a cute Christmas dog story for Christmas time.

Bites of Poetry: Savor These Food-Inspired Verses

One thing you may not know about me is that I am a watercolor artist and photographer. I love to paint desserts. There is something about challenging myself to make the best, most realistic dessert that I can.  When I write poetry, I try to weave my love of desserts into a sensory experience that is not just with my paintings or photography but also through words. It's a challenge to find a way to make a dessert exciting to read, but that's part of the fun!  As my go-to rule, I do my best to incorporate all five senses when writing a dessert poem to make it a culinary experience!  Below is a curated selection of some of my food and dessert poems.
