About Us

Gayle Bluebird and Deb (Whittle) Trueheart have collaborated on many projects through the years, including the Alternatives conference and several presentations at peer conferences.

A few words from Deb Trueheart

Beloveds, 

As I engage in my final adventure, I’m doing hospice my way; I’m refusing to be highly medicated and committed to participating in as much of this death journey as possible. I am claiming quality of life whatever that is each day. I want to leave some of my things for others to enjoy. My family has sacrificed a lot in caring for me and creating a beautiful space for me by transforming their living room.

Friends have put together an art show/sale to share my art. I’m excited about making my art available so you can have a piece of me.  I feel good knowing my art will go to loving homes and be well appreciated. The first 20 pieces of art sold will get a piece of. my jewelry if they wish.  Please take a moment and go through them and feel free to tell me what you think.  Pass the link to your networks.

Please note you cannot see the art descriptions and suggested pricing on a phone.  You must use a laptop to view.

Use this page dedicated to the sale of her art.
