~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ August 16, 2003 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The site has a new, more simple design! One may have a blazing hearth in one's soul and yet no one ever comes to sit by it. Passersby see only a wisp of smoke rising from the chimney and continue on their way. ~Vincent Van Gogh

Welcome to my personal on-line art gallery! I appreciate you stopping in to look at some of my works, and it's my hope that my vision might touch something in you along the way. Art is my expression of the beauty that touches me in this world, the strength of connections between people, between people and nature, and the expression of the myriad of human emotions, individual and internal as well as collective, and the way that I experience the world; my goal is to reflect and express thoughts and experiences that I can't always put into words in my art. Thank you for your visit! ~~~~~~ * ~~~~~~ *
