GRATITUDE
Thank you to the hundreds of people who have taken the leap of faith with me by participating in my public Cup of Karma storytelling events and workshops to date. A huge thank you goes out to my family and friends who have listened to and supported my ideas for many years now, I love you all so much. Below are some of the artists and sacred souls who have contributed their art, talent and time to the Cup of Karma Project. Thank you to each of them for touching my life.
Althea Freeman-Miller
I spotted Althea's beautiful block prints hanging on the wall of one of our local yummy haunts "The Scottish Bakehouse" and tracked her down to design my Cup of Karma logo. Lovely Althea grew up on Martha's Vineyard and now lives here full time after living in Vermont for 10 years. She specializes in linoleum block printing because she is fascinated by the simplicity and personality of carved lines. She loves the abundance and repetition relief printing has to offer. Althea offers custom design and logo work, along with event and wedding invitations, portraits, and book illustrations. Althea took great care working with me and my vision for my logo, and had incredible patience while I floundered on exactly what I wanted- Thank you Althea!

Abby has been my friend since she was a little girl. Even as a child she was extremely insightful and so interested in exploring the world.

She has traveled all over the world with her camera and her paint brushes. Abby has been a huge supporter of the Cup of Karma Project and her bead on my necklace is a beautiful white stone, symbolic of her purity and passion for life.
