All of the art shown above is small.

It's a way for me to explore new ideas, and get things flowing.

I've really been enjoying and obsessed with clouds and imaginary landscapes this past year.

Along with very organic forms, and unusual symbolic trees and female goddess figures.

My work and ideas and growing,evolving, and I think becoming much more interesting and stronger.

As my life changes, so does my art, it comes directly from inside me.

The challenge is always being brave enough to let it come out the way it needs to.

I'll post more on what's behind the art as I have more photos to upload.

I have created about 50 works this year.

Most are in new homes, created for people I love and care about.

I will try to do a photo documentary of this year's work soon.

I will be travelling to America sometime this summer,

and will then have better access to archives of all my previous art.

NEW!

About the artwork

"A successful painting will open the viewer's mind to their own mysteries."

This idea is an undercurrent in all my work.
Although my art is deeply personal, mirroring my own life and experiences,

the paintings often symbolize universal themes many people can understand and connect with.

With my new artwork and direction beginning this year, one of my goals is to remind others of thier Dreams and to inspire hope, thru positive images exploring recovery, healing, love, and creativity.

I hope to have online soon a brief story of my emotional journey over the last few years that has led me to the artistic place I am at currently.

I am very excited to share my new artwork with you all.

Thank you for visiting my website,

and I hope my Art may bring you as much enjoyment as it does for me to create it.
