Hatching of the Nest....

When my late husband, Richard Estes, and I moved into our home, the spacious garage presented an ideal location for an art studio and meeting place that we both had always dreamed of. Richard believed that creative thought is the only thing that will save this world. It was his vision to create a sense of community in our area, by offering a nurturing space in which we could gather and allow creativity and spiritual energy to flourish.

With Richard's passing in February 2009 I decided to breathe new life into the vision that Richard and I had.

In honor of our vision, in the Fall of 2009 I invited two other artists to help initiate the space by offering a diverse selection of art classes and personal exploration workshops. As with most businesses the first year was a time of learning, however the space was used by many people and fun creative energy was abundant.

This year the two artists that will be working with me are Tracy Vandermay and Jody McNamara. What a treat to have these two amazing women standing beside me, promoting Richard's dream. It is our wish to invite people to experience the wealth of talent at the studio as they explore the magical power of the creative spirit. Come "do art", smile, dance, and feel the joy that is shared when artists come together to create.

Tingles all over!!!!

Oh My Gosh!!!!   I am so excited for the retreat!!!  I am tingling all over!  However, every time I see myself in a mirror or in a window reflection I still yelp at the color of my hair...funny what one will do after a few years of stress.  Today I am full of joy and feelings of thanksgiving...amazing Sparrow's Nest Partners, loving friends, so much laughter, wonderful children, a loving step-daughter who spends late nights with me, the color purple and pink....the list goes on and on.  I know that this will be a magical weekend!
