Walking in the Woods
Trekking through a dense forest demands trust in your feet.
Moon Flower
The House of the Beaver
Italian Dreaming
The Italian Sleeping image, measuring approximately 18x20", stands out among the others. It invites you to create your own interpretation of what an Italian might be dreaming about. In this piece, I depicted holding up the moon.
Water
The reflection on water has always inspired me, offering a chance to experiment with tonal variations in color and to explore the interplay of shapes. The color blue evokes a sense of calm and tranquility, while also conveying a feeling of expansiveness, as it reminds us of the sky and the ocean.
Golden Light
In the center of the image suggests a metaphor to maintain balance amidst life's challenges.
Nowhere to Go But Here
Another metaphor comes to mind: observing a flock of blackbirds flying across the blue sky with a clear intention in one direction, only to return shortly after still with that same intention but heading the opposite way. I often find myself making similar choices in life, and I want to remind myself that "there is nowhere else to go but here"—to be present the moment, rather than in the past or about the future.
Pond VI
Walk in the Country
- a mindful walk - moving at a leisurely pace - cherishing and observing everything along my path with care.
Pond
Dancing Bear
a guiding spirit and a source of healing
Sit Still
Sold
A tranquil image for meditation.
Guardian
The image features a hidden figure on the left, symbolizing a guardian who supports me during challenging times.
The Door is Open
The pathway to a higher vibration is always open.
Purple Place
The hues combined with a touch of gold leaf evoke a sense of mystery. The shapes represent an abstract version of a place dear to my heart.
Maikäfer
I love drawing into vibrant fields of color. This drawing was inspired by the lovely brown beetles we used to gather as kids when they fell from walnut trees in June.
"Longing"
How can one capture a feeling? Perhaps through color, line, and an abstraction that defies explanation. It is a yearning for harmony, peace, and a sense of oneness that remains perpetually elusive.
Reflection
Seeing a cherished place in a new perspective.
Fields of Sunflowers
Light on the Meadow
The magic of light is ever-changing, inviting us to notice its beauty and inspiring feelings of emotion and gratitude for the wonders of nature.
Magic Forest Lily
"Italian dreaming" "Birds in the Trees"
"San Ysidro" "4 Little Houses"
A small village close to Santa Fe, featuring a quaint church and rolling hills.
Bali - the shrines within a temple complex and the small houses for the spirits inspired this image.
