Let's Get Started!



Possibility… that big, all-encompassing, wide-open-door concept that fuels the mind of a dreamer.  A word brimming full of glass-half-full perspective.  A concept that alters the way a person looks at the world. 

Life is full of possibility, and art is an extremely tangible example of that.  If you have an open mind and a keen eye, you can transform anything into a work of art.  Which is what Beyond Boundaries is all about.  Transformation and possibilities.   

Where some people might see an empty bottle....


I see the opportunity for so much more.


Where some people would see a bathroom cabinet, I see an entire fish aquarium.


Just a boring old staircase?  How about a visually stunning display piece?

 
An eyesore left behind by the previous tenants after they patched a hole in the wall and decided to frame around it.


Now becomes a focal point in the family living space.



Like I said, full of possibilities if you only have the eyes to see beyond what is right in front of you. 

This blog will be dedicated to portraying the art of possibility.  A place to catalog and share with you all the adventures I come across (complete with before and after pictures), as well as a basic how-to so that you can discover your own sense of creativity along with me.  And who knows, maybe I’ll even be able to inspire you to try your own journey of endless potential.

Oh, and don't forget to sign up for e-mail notifications that let you know whenever something new is happening on the blog, including the first step by step breakdown on how to transform an old, worn out table chair into a display piece.

    1. Thank you, Sandee. Your support is much appreciated. :D

      Each stair was hand painted by myself. It's interesting when you look at the progression because you can see which stairs were some of my earlier landscapes. I am happy to write up a blog post that gives you the close up pictures of the stairs. I'll put it on my priority list so that you can see them. :)
