Happy Halloween! Today has always been one of my all time favorite holidays! It is a night full of magic and mystery, a time to face ones fears and celebrate all the dark and scary! I loved Halloween as a kid, making costumes, collecting candy, participating in the adventure, scaring each other to death, what's not to love? Becoming a mother and experiencing Halloween with my son brought it all back. Caden loved Halloween! And I have to admit all the work was worth it when watching him traumatize the other children in his creepy costumes. I'm kidding. He was much too nice for that, no one was scared. Anyway, I had a whole historical Halloween post organized. It was about Samhain, the barrier between the worlds thinning, inviting the dead to dinner... but then I remembered you probably just stopped by to see Caden's Halloween Costumes . It's fine, here they are, all of your favorites: Ghost, Goblin, Vampire, Mummy, Devil, Werepanther and Steampunk Gentleman. Enjoy! Have

The Legend Of Hare Terra - Title Page by Amy E. Fraser      In my last post " Reintroducing: The Exalted Beauty Medallions! " I mentioned that for a time I dropped off the face of the earth and entered my own private little world. It was something I had been building up to. I was experiencing post exhibition burn out and was becoming weary of becoming kitty cornered into the Jewelry sphere. Initially I started the Exalted Beauty Medallions on a whim. Someday I may go into the curse of this personal phenomenon further. In short, I frequently start new things that other people become super excited about and then attempt to dictate what direction my career/life needs to go. It's the blight of being so multi-talented LOL. However, we'll save that backwards self congratulatory comment for another discussion.      This post is focused on the Artist's End Goal . Whenever I start one of my big crazy projects my husband asks what is your End Goal? "Beca

When I first took down my website in January of this year and replaced it with the “blank slate” of the Fine Art America website, I was relieved. I desperately wanted a fresh start. I hadn’t been active on

Parents Weekend (Photo Credit: Holderness Photography Crew) Hello! I'm back! So what have I been doing for the last two months? Well.... as some of you know my son decided to go to boarding school this year. We are unbelievably proud of him and his decision to go to Holderness . Holderness is an amazing school, it is only an hour from home, the teachers are top notch, the curriculum is fantastic and the opportunities are endless. Holderness also has strong ties to his previous school, Cardigan Mountain School , which we absolutely loved and where Caden thrived as a day student. So far Caden has been doing great and we feel confident that this was the right choice for him. However, this was a huge and fairly difficult adjustment for our family, he is our only child and the center of our universe. And if you must know, I have been struggling with this change more than I care to admit. Some days are extremely hard. I miss him SO much, I was definitely NOT prepared to ex
