Breath Deeply & Repeat....

I have been having fun creating a few illustrated versions of some of my fave quotes:

What's in a Name?

Some of you readers and browsers who happen to come across my blog, or even if you are a regular reader---you might wonder where I got the name Foxy Art Studio? well, my last name is Fox--yep, that is correct---my name is : Aurora Fox! what some folks don't know is that Fox is not my family's name, or my "maiden" name, or my married name...this "last " name came from a dream I had. Since I was in the midst of a divorce---and I had taken my then-husband's name when I married (I was very young--the women's movement was just beginning then ;-) and for various reason's I didn't want to go back to my family's name (really my father's last name)---so I decided to just pick my own last name. Once I legally changed it, I was surprised when I checked my local phone books and found so many folks with Fox, or Foxx as a last name--this is a pretty common last name, it seems. Once I assumed this name--the fox dreams stopped coming at night, but I have seen several fox in the wild since then. One fox I saw seemed to be laughing at me....
