A Creative Life

"There are souls in this world which have the gift of finding joy everywhere and leaving it behind them when they go."  
Frederick William Faber

We've loved this beautiful quote ever since it rippled softly into our hearts a few years ago.  We even used it in a previous blog to describe three tiny loved ones:

Today, the quote resurfaced as we recalled a random meeting of a very gifted artist named Debbie Saenz.

We were touched by her as much as we were her lovely art,  and because we believe beautiful things are meant to be shared, we had planned to do an artist spotlight on her in the future. And then we let time slip this lovely idea away from us. It kind of bobbed out to sea. Out, out, out, into the busy ocean of life, and it almost sailed away.  But creatives like this, just never leave you. Their art comes ebbing back onto your shores, like a treasured message in a bottle.

So today, let us uncork some of the art treasures created by this amazing artist.  The piece below caught our eyes immediately with Valentine's Day just around the corner. It'd be great for an upcoming wedding or anyone touched by LOVE. It just makes us smile:-)
We also have been inspired by these works of art that would be perfect for a wedding gift or a special couple.

And this petite art on a necklace reminds us who we are.
There's just so much to show in this artist's portfolio, but we'll close with this fresh as a breeze painting, reminding us that the windows of spring will open again soon.
