Nature inspires me. I look to express the emotion and beauty I see in everything that surrounds me. My pallet reflects my passion for animals, for color, for culture - for life!

Pet Portraits are one of my favorite projects. I love to meet people and find out about their pets...if they are with us or...

Wild Words is a collection of paintings that discuss the powerful words we associate with animals and use to personify their traits. Words are powerful. The way we use them says much about us. |
 | | These amazing birds inspire thoughts of wisdom, freedom and stealth. I felt they deserved their own series. All of these owl types are found in the Pacific Northwest.

Slowly I AwakenDedicated to the many
for I am not aloneCrossroads
Crossroads
Acceptance gives us no chance to fight
We must go peacefully to receive the light
It leads us to crossroads too many to count
Watching intently as we assess the routes
Always there are two roads from which to choose
Never as simple as one you win and one you loose
The first road begins from the core of your soul
The one that makes you feel like you’re in control
It is easy to choose, for you know this road well
Most take it often thought the conditions are hell
Littered with ruble...
Destiny Won't Wait
Destiny Won’t Wait
We wither when we wait
Never postpose a dance with fate
Let him brush your brow- make promises for tomorrow
For hidden between seductive words and sultry glances
Your Destiny prances
She cleverly chooses Fate as her disguise
Lurking in his shadow awaiting prying eyes
You mush want me –she teases
The smell of your fear displeases
Fate frantically blows you kisses on the wind
Don’t be fooled friend, he claims
She and I are the same
You but know us by different names
Truth be...
Dragon Fly Mystery
Dragon Fly Mystery
Each morning I watch the dragon fly hunt above the water way
For what does he search so early in the day
Does some unsuspecting creature lurk above the pool in the early morning light
Or perhaps it is thirst which draws him to this flight
Every now and then a curious bird perches on the fence
Their mouths watering at the sight of him but intimidated by his diligence
A rival dragon fly swoops down in search of the same illusive treasure no doubt
Our warrior dismisses him, his...
Your Love
Your love is the water
that runs through my faucet
the light that shines from my bulb
my voice booms from your speakers
your thoughts sneak into my skull
my vision is seen through your lenses
whats yours or mine now hard to tell
Your Love spins my wheels
it stops them cold as well
each day that our paths mingle
is a day that I long for more
Your Love is the roof on this house I've built
You are the window You are the door
I am the flower You are the Spring
You give Your Love freely
yet it...
