What gratitude looks like to me today…. Eyes that see love, beauty, nature in all its many forms Ears to hear the sound of the waves or the wind blowing through the leaves Arms to hug those I love Legs to walk the trail, climb the mountains Creative imagination to share my art God who listens […]

To capture the essence of a tree is a lifetime journey for me; It’s beauty and size are magnificent; It’s soul can be felt in its shadow; The touch of its bark is like a thick layer of skin that protects its heart within; The branches long and winding reach high to the heavens; Longing for Sun, Water, Air […]

You can purchase cards, prints, framed prints, canvas prints, metal, acrylic and […]
