Kae Pea at Sparkly Heart Studio!!!

After being FB friends for years I finally had the true pleasure of meeting and hosting Kristen Powers, aka Kae Pea. I have long been smitten with her artistic style and her engaging positive spirit.

and let me tell you, she is simply amazing.

She shines.

She is humble, warm & funny.

and she radiates with joy when sharing what she loves. 

 a creative beacon.

and generous by nature, she gave me this beautiful print below, which now graces my studio.

Over a glass or two of wine, we stayed up into the wee hours talking about art, family, life,

 and the beauty 

of meeting 'soul sisters.

and how lucky we are to make art.

so very lucky

that when we decide to follow our heart

there are people who 

believe in us

and help us excel,

like Kristen's delightful

  sister Bridgette, her sidekick, sounding board, and - methinks indispensable - source of encouragement, humor and strength. 

Kristen is also the owner of a fabulous rubber stamp company, called Rubber Moon Art Stamp Co.

Along with her talent, she brought catalogs and stamps and all kinds of fun products for us to jumpstart our creative streak.
