  • Ups and Downs in Life

    Working through the ups and downs in life can sometimes take a toll.  But  if you have peace in God  that seesaw becomes joyful with twists and turns and great surprises.  I was watching this morning a program about mentoring young adult artists and the various arts they are participating in and heard something I…

  • What’s Fear Got to Do with It?

    Fear is like a mole going deep inside you without being aware of it.  So what does fear have to do with the present and future of my life? I can worry and and get stressed out and it then affects every part of my life including my health.   There have been lots of…

  • A Beginning of A New Chapter

    Here it is January 2, 2014 and a new chapter in this journey taken.   It’s exciting to look forward to all the possibilities that are in the future.  After midnight of the 1st, I sat and thought of what I would like to see happen this year God willing.   I’m not a goal…

  • Chaos into Peace

    I don’t know about you but as I get older change is a little harder.  To have peace I have to embrace the change.  So after stomach churning and grumpiness I am now at peace. The chaos is ego driven because I’m in my comfort zone and I think the change will be bad for ME.…

  • Artists go Gently

    Unless it is about money,  artists go gently into the world seeking truth.   Believing in a higher calling, we use imagination and determination to work.  Striving for excellence to tell who we are as part of the human experience.  I now work in series to tell a story of growth.   One painting is part…

That is truly transforming into loving yourself and others. This painting is called “Released”.  It means released from negativity and…

  • Just Being

    It’s such a mystery to know who we really are.  It’s about just being.  I’ve had many years of covering up who I really am but through changes in my journeyand the Spirit inside me I’m more true and authentic.  I can relax through the expectations of myself and others and let go of all.…

  • Building on Hope

    Hope is a powerful word.  It’s the basis of dreams and goals.  If you can’t hope for the future and then build on it, you’ll be stuck in the same place year after year.   As an artist it’s more that that. I get stuck in myriad of ways.  One is listening to the gurus…

  • Endurance to Win The Race

    To win a race you have to run many miles even when your legs feel like they’re going to fall off.  What you are doing is building endurance.   That is what I’m in the process of doing, I’m building endurance.   I can’t sit around and daydream and think I can win.  No, I…

  • Feeling Renewed

    After a rain is over do you feel renewed?  I know I do.  The air is clear and sparkling and smells wonderful.  I feel the the same way when I spend time in the studio and my paintings sing to me. I feel refreshed.  The same happens when I’m with people I care for and…
