Dandelion

Do I truly believe... when the sacred center shatters, when hope is flung like dandelion parachutes into frigid wind, when all presses down into winter sleep when all is lost... Do I truly believe... when only the hollow stalk remains, unloved, dry, cracking.. it is not the end of the story? Could it be my…Read more Dandelion

Resurrection

What if Love has the power to pull you through darkness into looming space so broad and free it takes your breath away? And what if Love's mighty agenda is to crown you with the treasures gathered in darkness? What if Love knows the way to resurrection? ........................................................... I am convinced that the theme of death and resurrection is encoded…Read more Resurrection

A Painting Path (A Creative Process)

When painting, I struggle for equilibrium between spontaneity and purpose, freedom and planning, energy and control. After four years of painting full-time, of steadfast exploration, perhaps I am finally finding a rhythm. My most recent work, The Other Side, emerges from this path of painting.

My soul is renewed in a place of wonder and possibility, and it splashes over into renewed strength for the trials and challenges…Read more The Experience of Being An Artist

Loving You Still (Always)

  I lie flat on my back in rustling shade, gazing at the wide-eyed blue eye of forever, clear as far as I can see. Then sneaking into the outer rim of my vision, billows of twirling whirligigs, shrouding the afternoon sun. I sit up, surprised, as myriad ripple across the sky, like laughter. The…Read more Loving You Still (Always)

A Unique Christmas Boutique

Last weekend a friend and I created an "art experience" with "A Unique Christmas Boutique." We emptied a couple rooms in my house and transformed it into a one day shop, stocked with Pamba Toto products, signs and furniture re-claimed and re-imagined, and my artwork. The people were most certainly the most magical part  - my dear friend…Read more A Unique Christmas Boutique
