A woman can never be too happy or too self-assured.

I would love e-cards and I’m sure others would, too!

Your site is fabulous. I’ll be visiting often!

thank you Elizabeth! I am always so touched when someone lets me know that my work is a reminder of someone/something. I love the idea of e-cards, and have been thinking about adding them at some point (when I get the time!)

I have enjoyed your art and quotes since I came across this website a couple of days ago.

I think your artwork and quotes would make wonderful e-cards. There was one in particular that reminded me so much of my daughter (How Do I Measure Myself: Body of Soul), also an artist. The girl in the painting put me so much in mind of her that I sent her the link. I would love to have been able to send it as an e-card for Mother’s Day.

I have struggled with weight issues all my life and am finally getting to the point of accepting my body as it is, at 48 years old. You’re beautiful art and writings will surely help in this endeavor, so thank you for sharing with all of us!

I definitely have plans on ordering your book!

Interesting advertisement, and very interesting post. It’s funny that we seem to want to be the opposite of what our culture makes it easy to be.

Thank you Danielle for such a thoughtful comment. One of the reasons I began writing/drawing on this topic is my own experiences with eating disorders, and those of friends, family and students, so I know that the very idea of “fat” is troubling for people of ALL sizes. This old advertisement is really fascinating, specially now where fat is not only an issue for looks/fashion/body image but has also a hot point in the discussion of health.
