It would be nice to have fame and fortune from my art, but that is not why I create. It is simply "my calling in life". It is a gift from a higher power…it is "my light".
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” Our Deepest Fear from "A Return To Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles" Marianne Williamson
My recent life journey has drawn me back to my love of watercolor painting. I have always been fascinated with surrealism and symbolism and often strive to capture my inner most personal experiences by painting in this style.
I have often been asked about the Native American symbolism in some of my work. I’m fascinated by the Native American culture and their beliefs that everything is sacred on this earth and that a lesson can be found in all things and experiences. We all need to be in touch with our spirituality and everything around us.
I hope my work stimulates the imagination of the viewer, and that people will come to their own conclusions as to what the work means to them, that they can somehow relate, and take a look at their own journeys in life.”
