This is for Sheldon(Brave Heart), Renee, Jacquie and the whole family: "Death is not extinguishing the light; it is putting out the lamp because dawn has come." -Rabindranath Tagore XOXO
Kj-Sheldon was and IS a special, beautiful boy. He could teach us all a thing or two :-). Erin-Yes, it is a huge comfort to me. Angela-Yes, they have. They are all so brave and wise. They are amazing.
I am a painter living in the beautiful moutain town of Taos New Mexico.
Artist Statement:
I have been painting since I was eight years old when I declared to my mother that I wanted to be an artist. She promptly went out and bought me an oil set. Perhaps not the wisest choice for a child, but it got me started. I have been painting ever since and my way of working and what I paint has changed dramatically over the years. At this point in time I am working with mixed media on board and canvas. Nearly every image starts with a dream, either waking or sleeping. Other subjects that inform my work are literature and nature. Each painting is for me an adventure in color and texture,an exploration of joy and a way for me to get to know myself better. There is always a personal narrative and some hidden message that I am unaware of until it reveals itself in the finished piece. My paintings are about whatever is going on in my life at the time I am painting. My intention when I do a painting is to be true to my authentic voice and perhaps to open someone's heart and mind to all the possibilities around them.
