Art is Truth Unspoken

Art is important, because art is truth unspoken. Art is emotion and story without vocabulary; it is engaging; ALL are invited to connect in conversation - it has no race, except human. Art has heart! So much heart; it is history, (good or bad); it is dreams of the future, it is healing from the past; it is the imaginable laid out for all to observe and dive into, or just skim the surface... It is Universal and speaks every language.

I like to experiment with many different mediums. Working with block prints, gel prints, acrylics, inks, cold wax, oils, photography, digital, and collage work, combining some or all of them.

"DON'T PANIC" Douglas Adams (Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy)

Always surprising - the unexpected ordinary that makes life extraordinary!

I have learned not to be afraid of the act of creating, when it comes and taps me on my shoulder or punches me in the heart - I say, "Okay, thank you", and do...and in the doing...I find a place of healing, peace and blessings. I am grateful for being a part of the process -

I encourage you to take a chance and lay it out there! Choose happy, let go and dance in the space art occupies- waiting for someone to help it into the world!
