Springtime Flowers 2024 CollectionAfter a long winter comes hope, rebirth, and the flowers of Springtime. From one Arizona mining town to another - With the help of a good friend, I finished loading up my belongings into a U-Haul truck on a cold winter morning in Jerome. With my three copilots, cats Leo, Luna, and Boo, we began our journey. Nine hours and 317 miles later, we landed in our new spot, Bisbee. After a 6-month dry-spell without a drop of creativity, I couldn't shut off the fountain of artwork pouring out of me. Just about every few days in my new studio, a converted detached garage behind the house I'm living in, I painted. So far, six small paintings have emerged. I am surrounded by the beauty and joy of flowers. This bold move, literally and figuratively, saved my life. Depression and anxiety are no joke. I'm pushing myself every day, enjoying getting out and meeting new like-minded people, seeing art everywhere, and feeling a ton of gratitude for this life I'm living. Creating art is my therapy. As with all of my artwork, this collection is now for sale. There are six small original paintings, watercolors on canvas, unframed and ready to ship or local pick up (no prints). Thank you for supporting local artists, and thank you for listening. Thankfully, Zushka  CLICK HERE TO SEE COLLECTION  My beloved Henry Art Car is for sale.

EMAIL ME Thanks for all of your support in the arts. #ArtisanPaintedFurniture #JeromeAZartist #FurnitureArt  Are You a Feminist? It sounds like a no-brainer to me. Of course, I am a Feminist! What woman isn’t? I grew up in the late 60’s, early 70’s, when Feminism was at the forefront of mainstream media. It was almost impossible to turn on the news, or read a newspaper or magazine, without hearing about the movement. As a girl, I came to understand what these women were so passionate about - equal pay, gender equality, rights over their own bodies. And also as a child, I was unaware that we didn’t already have these rights. Weren’t girls equal to boys? Wait a minute, why are we treated differently? I remember a woman who handed me a necklace with the letters “N O W”. It was heavy, with a thick long chain and a large NOW logo hanging from it. I slipped it over my head and held the medallion in my small hand, not knowing what it meant. But the small group of ladies smiled and expressed words of approval and strength. I felt empowered for a moment, like I was one of them. It wasn’t until many years later that I realized what NOW stood for - National Organization for Women. I remember the victory of Roe v Wade, and how it changed the landscape of women’s rights over their own bodies. It was a huge win, one in which I would reap the benefits of in the early 80’s as a teenaged girl. The right to legal abortion became commonplace, a fundamental right for women, as it should be. With the overturn of Roe v Wade, it is evident that we still face an upward battle. But the fire still burns, the protests still remain, and change is still hopeful. I see it in the younger generations of women and girls, in the older generations who faced more discrimination than I will ever know, and in a powerful future of women leaders. Are you a feminist? I’d love to hear your stories. All of you, old and young. I’m reaching out to you for inspiration. Shoot me an email, tell me your stories, share your experiences. I'm putting together a photography concept, and I'm eager to meet you all! fem·i·nist /ˈfemənəst/ noun
  Ugh, how boring. A blog about healthy stuff. I could spend the next few minutes writing about how much I detest veggies. Actually, that would be more realistic than pretending I'm totally into carrots, broccoli, and squash. Truth is, I've eaten so many baby carrots as of late, that I'm starting to turn orange.
 Meet Zushka Biros - Artist, Photographer, ModelWhat a way to end this year! I know I'm not speaking just for myself when I say "this year was rough!" For me, I lost my best friend to cancer, gave up my studio for lack of inspiration, dealt with a few new health issues, and dove back into therapy. I got raw and real with myself, emotionally and spiritually. But it wasn't all terrible.
 Art, the Perfect Gift, Any Time of Year!Now is the time of year to give that special someone, or yourself, a gift that lasts a lifetime: Art
