Choice


  Featured image: Talisman II

Abstract art, for me, is an indispensable medium for communicating a moral idea.

The moral idea that occurs in all my creations is freedom.  Freedom to choose goes hand in hand with the creation of abstract art.  Without freedom there can be no choice, the commitment to select or the commitment to choose to refrain are both linked.

always…inspired

of “things” in the

natural world.

In any direction, at any single moment, 

some song of solitary wonderful

     happens….

     …explodes in another journey of….

     creative thought.

many questions answered by natural

     nature. if….

if am curious, I always find answers,

…. I look…

to the skies, the water, earth 

and find them there.

Natural World

 

Featured image: The Whole World

the natural world

a forest

at first glance 

overwhelming

complex

chaos

irregular –

     yet….

regular

hexagons of a 

     petoskey stone

spirals of a seashell

     a peacock's feathers

the wings of a butterfly

regular and irregular

they need each other.

The Sky Stone Jacket



Featured image: The Sky Stone Jacket

She could still smell and feel her grandmother's scent as she put on the turquoise jacket her grandmother always used to wear.  Every time she put on the Sky Stone Jacket she recalled the stories her grandmother told her about the color turquoise. Her grandmother said the color turquoise, the sky stone, connected heaven and earth and that the color turquoise helped us connect with the spirit world.

She loved wearing her grandmother’s jacket and the memories of her grandmother.

Art is Personal

“Art is a personal creation by an individual.  It brings something into existence that did not exist before and it would not have existed except for the unique contributions of the individual who created it.“

She Chooses



Featured image: Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair

today

     she is free

she chooses

to stop in her tracks

and enjoy …

     the beauty of the earth

     to breathe in slowly

     and to take a moment

     to look
