There are certainly messages contained within these paintings that are intended to awaken the viewer and artist as well. Sometimes I am amazed how the process transforms me. As my journey continues I seek to create paintings that consciously honor the tenuousness and beauty of life on mother earth and our sacred responsibility to treat her and all beings with respect and compassion. We live in times of great peril yet also of hope. It is important to realize the value of our individual creative voices and the potential they carry. Painting can heal.

Allow yourself to experience a coherence that bridges the oneness that we know to be truth with the events of everyday life. Allow your own artistic nature to help you bridge self, spirit and nature. ‘EMBRACING RADIANCE This elemental figure stands secure amidst dark cloudwings-hair.
