Temporarily Frazzled - The Story                                   Alice Lynn Greenwood

Perhaps clothes alone can’t take us to the places we yearn to go,
but well-chosen words just might get us there.

My passions for exquisite elegance and stylish simplicity in life, in painting and in attire are influenced by my backgrounds in commercial art and in the fashion world of Manhattan. While in my home and on my body I love
a slightly bohemian, understated classic look jazzed up with a little riff, on canvas I love cranking up the volume combining rich, sparkling textures, lyrical lines and vibrant colors to create an imaginative experience that rocks.

Did you ever have a day when even the perfect setting and a brand new frock couldn’t get you out of your funk? This redhead is definitely due for attitude adjustment, like me when I get too tilted and my self-talk goes off the tracks.

Fashion doyenne Diana Vreeland quipped:
“A new dress doesn't get you anywhere. It's the life you're living in the dress [or the suit or jeans or flip flops].”

More than clothes, the words we wrap around us make a difference in the way we live our lives.

My passion for words of elegance and simplicity began in the hours I spent deciphering those powerful, shaped marks meandering over the pages
of my beloved Golden Books. I wanted to make marks of my own, for I learned as a small girl, words can touch a heart and guide our feelings to joy and to heartache, to hurt and to healing.

Happy, cheerful words lift us up like favorite, flattering colors or the just right fit of a beloved tee shirt and soft jeans. Thoughtful, encouraging words can buoy our feelings and soothe our stress, like comfy old shoes or a new pair of strappy sandals, that pinch only a little, or those worn out jammies that are too special to toss.


However you dress, however you speak, I hope TEMPORARILY FRAZZLED gives you pleasure in your viewing and in finding and living in your happy place. Thanks for looking, Alice Lynn
