A Time to Replenish

My beautiful vacation in Mexico
"Fuego" rooftop pool.

"Fuego" rooftop pool.

At 58 years of age it was time to take a break and go on my very first vacation. It is hard to describe, but as an artist, the feeling of being drained every day sometimes gets a bit scary. What if I have nothing left in me to bring out in a creative manner?

My husband, "The Captain" and I both needed a break from the norm, so we escaped to a beautiful place in Cancun called Xcaret. We had a full 7 days and two half days of all that is peaceful, and very wet. Pools everywhere.

Eating and swimming was really my agenda, which I did achieve. What I did not expect was the inspiration this place gave me. Everywhere I looked there were textures and colors.

My body is my canvas

My food is my paint

The irons I pump
are my sculpting tools

My posing suit
frames the end result
