Exciting News! The Second Editions of our previously sold-out book is now available! My daughter, Julie Steines, and I co-authored this keepsake Christmas picture book, Norbert: Little Me Christmas, for the young and young at heart. It was pure delight for me to also create the full-color illustrations, cover, and book design for this 76-page hardcover book. We hope it becomes the perfect holiday gift to cherish and share. Autographed copies are also available! It is available for U.S. domestic shipping.

This book, which has long been a dream of ours, imagines Norbert on a magical Christmas Eve adventure in which he discovers the greatest gift of all. Get your copy here: https://www.pollyparkerpress.com/shop

Synopsis:
The day before Christmas, Norbert wants to give the perfect gift to his Momma, but he is at a loss for ideas. Due to unexpected circumstances, he finds himself miles from home in a snowstorm. This plucky little three-pound dog is determined to find his way home by Christmas Day. Against all odds and assisted in surprising ways, Norbert overcomes obstacles, finds hope, shows kindness, and celebrates the importance of home.

Artistic Virginia Journal Entries

I believe that inside each of us resides the curious, inventive, creative child we once were. I'm interested in ways we can keep our joy, wonder, fascination, sense of play and imagination alive throughout our lives.  How do we regain or remain artistic? How can art honor and transform us and our life experiences?

The artistic process engages mind, body, and spirit, and is therefore holistic. Many things in life that we do with love, kindness, generosity and worthy intention can be elevated to that which we consider artistic.  This blog seeks the many ways to do that. Because as Hubbard said, "Art is not a thing. It is a way."

I hope you will find inspiration here to encourage your inner child and your inner artist to sparkle and shine.

Warmly,
Virginia Freyermuth, M.F.A., Ph.D.
