“Surely there is something in the unruffled calm of nature that overawes our little anxieties and doubts;
the sight of the deep-blue sky and the clustering stars above seems to impart a quiet to the mind.”
― Jonathan Edwards

 ON SALE NOW An excerpt from my BEE INSPIRED book:
"Bees have brought a savory sweetness into my life, just as surely as they bring sweetness to the table with their honey. They have been the light on my darker days. When I need to regenerate my weary soul, I head to where I know the bees are busy. I have my favorite spots where I bathe in their energy. I know how strange this sounds to non-bee people. How I would love to open their eyes and hearts to this simple joy and wonder of nature. I try capturing a little bit of their magic through my camera lens, but like all the best things in life, nothing compares to experiencing it in person. My hope with this book is that, as you flip through these pages, you will be inspired to get more familiar with these lovely creatures, and will also choose to learn about the plight of bees around the world as they face an uncertain future, right along with our own."  Famous curator, Josine Ianco Starrels, explains the meaning of abstract art : "... just as a mother sometimes hums songs to her children without using words, artists sometimes create paintings without replicating the appearance of things in everyday life."

and lose ourselves at the same time.” ~ Thomas Merton

Live Honestly is my other website:
"Something I care deeply about is crusading against animal and human trafficking, and taking down Monsanto. I also advocate for animal and human rights. You'll find links to these causes throughout my website, but you will not find advertisers. This is a labor of love website. I tried Google ads, but found them annoying. Instead, I focus on my passions and promote my art, my books, my photography, and my agenda for a better world."
