After treatments, after exercise, after family and after turkey . . .
. . . you have to take a little time for yourself.
**Note: "Cats" image originally sketched by Andy Warhol, arrangement/colors are my own. "Lotus Blossom" inspired by Turkish folk-art. "Dinner Party" image taken from 1920s cover of "The New Yorker."
About Me
- Piper
- I am a 33-year-old wife, sister, daughter, friend, law school graduate, CFer, lifelong student of public service, blog writer, patient, Sagittarius, reader, Top chef fan, double-lung transplant recipient (twice!), and dog owner living in Colorado's beautiful Mile High City. I love all things colorful, funny, inspiring, or needlessly sarcastic. I share my city with about 2,500,000 other remarkable people, share my disease with 70,000 other beautiful souls, share my life with some unbelievable family and friends, and share my apartment with one very handsome guy and one really fat mutt with a kick-butt personality. We make it work.
About This Blog:
This blog is about me, my life, my sometimes craziness, my disease, and my current journey as a double-lung transplant recipient. It's also a celebration of everyone out there with CF (and other chronic illnesses). It's for you, inspired by you, and dedicated to you -- the community that keeps me writing, living, and breathing.

love it girl! Pastels and charcoal are one of my fav mediums to create!!!!!! I'm hoping some day to get back into it again :) Colored pencils too! I like that you can mix the colors on those and get some fabulous shading!!!!!
ReplyDeleteVery inspiring stuff and cool that you, too Amy, are into art. I should try it!! I haven't done anything like that since junior high so it wouldn't be near your caliber. Very impressive!!
ReplyDeleteThe New Yorker pic TOTALLY reminds me of that "self portrait" you did when we were like 9. They hung it in the Children's School building and the last time I was there about 3 years ago, it was still hanging in front of Mrs. Walters' office when you walk in. Of course, this one is a wee bit more sophisticated considering you ARE 20 years older!!! :)
