Why I Make Art Now

Making art helps me come alive in the marvelous now. In art making and in life, I am excited about the wonder of evolution and change. My ego sometimes resists that. It likes to hide and pretend it is a victim. Currently, I am excited about becoming a survivor hero. I love my ego. I love all my parts. My True Self says to my ego: "I love you, I want you here with me, and you are safe. Will you please release the victim role and become the survivor hero you already are?" I'm excited about guiding this experience and watching it unfold in the Studio.

Seed and Stone

Inside a cherry is a stone. Inside the stone is a seed. If you seek peace, choose the seed, not the stone.

I thought this painting would be hopeful. Along the way, it became dark and real. I like that.

Oreos and Orange Juice

Bringing together unexpected ingredients in the kitchen can be marvelous. The same is true in the art studio. An abstract expression painting blended with hard edge, geometric elements.

“Profusion.” 12 x 12 inches. Acrylic paint on wood panel. $500.
