My Belief about Abstract Realism
Abstract Realism, allows the gathering, the touching, of the tangible and intangible of life, that which we see, and that which seeps through -- our past, good and bad, our hopes, our bruises, and often the magic I still see in possibilities. And the color, oh how color touches my soul and asks me to dance with life. (Kimberly)
How Inspiration become ART
A vision, an idea, an experience all become a desire to paint. Art becomes a doorway into soul space. It leads to the inner world, uplifts us. Look at a painting, breathe the image into your body... slowly. Allow the experience to open you to a feeling, a memory, a hope, a longing, a reminder?

A Formal Definition
Abstract Realism ART
Abstract Realism challenges the traditional divide between realism and abstraction, proving that art can harmoniously embody both. In this style, familiar subjects—like people, landscapes, or everyday objects—are rendered with a twist. Artists use bold colors, loose brushstrokes, and unconventional compositions to add emotional or imaginative layers to their work.
Unlike traditional realism, Abstract Realism is not about perfect replication. Instead, it incorporates abstraction to evoke mood, energy, or impressions, allowing artists the freedom to infuse their work with personal expression while keeping it anchored in recognizable forms. (Milan Institute)

Why we Read
Books are a refuge, a vivid, doorway into another time and place. They offer a glimpse or a dive into another lived experience. They can be informational, imaginative, exciting, boring, but the gift offered in their pages cannot be denied.
The therapeutic books of PANS/PANDAS, and Loving All of Me both offer information, wisdom and strategies. They are the two non fiction books in my collection.
How Inspiration became Children's Books
I moved to Canada immediately before covid, and bought a house on a mountainside. I started meeting with a psychologist group with a goal of restarting private practice and bam, everything was shut down.
How was I to use my time, how was I to be productive? My love for writing, for reading, and my years of psychologist's wisdom looking for an outlet became a journey into writing, finding a publisher, and diving into the endless imagination I have always had.
The Collections
Early Readers are books to begin at birth with. Research strongly shows a correlation between a child's language acquisition and the number of words they hear. Read, read, read to even the littlest one.
