Yes, "The Artful Life of Maria" is the name of my blog. Why a blog? Well artists like myself have a tendency to start many projects and at the end of each day wonder what they accomplished. I like a challenge and thought what better way to reflect on my daily life. And I can share the blog with others. Well, I hope someone, somewhere will be interested.
So please read about my day to day views, thoughts, ideas and vingettes of an artist who creates fine art, home decor, gardens, authentic Italian, home style and healthy recipes, natural olive oil soaps and many other creative items for myself and others.
I share lots of my own photographic images which will include some of my favorite things, what is going on in my studio, the paintings I am working on, the current fabric or soap project and what I have created in the kitchen. Sometimes Winston, our Soft Coated Wheaton Terrier, will visit, oh and then there is My French Husband.
