Open Hearts

This Open Heart was derived from a little watercolor I did for my Dad who has always been an outdoorsman and taught me the importance of environmental conservation.

TinyTown Family Map

This is a watercolor mixed media piece I was commissioned to do a few years ago.  The client  requested that I create a "TinyTown" type illustrated map with the homes of his parents and siblings.  Other special meaningful details were included.  Prints were made from the original for each family member.  Recently I was contacted by someone who had seen one of the prints and is interested in having one done for her family.

EarthSpirit

This is the first of a new series of drawings I am working on. The inspiration comes from my deep love and concern for Nature and our Mother Earth. I plan to have t-shirts and pull-overs available in the next few weeks. I am also working on a new design for a "Seasons of the Soul" t-shirt based on my popular art print!

The Fetch

The Fetch is an independent form, a soul aspect that accompanies one through life, though, more often never seen or noticed until death, at which time it will guide them to the afterlife. Its purpose is to assist the person it is attached when journeying to other realms. It can and often is passed along ancestral lines.

It appears to the mind's eye in a variety of forms...as an animal, bird, or other living being, or the opposite sex, or even as a purely geometric shape. The Rune, Ehwaz, symbolizes twin war horses and is closely connected to the fetch, being the "horse" that carries an individual on the journey between worlds.

Streams of Life; North Carolina's 40,000 miles of creeks and rivers

As a native of North Carolina and one who feels we have an obligations as human beings to protect the environment for future generations, I am extremely concerned about the irreversible damage that can occur to the underground aquifers that will be polluted with toxic chemicals if our elected officials sell us out to the interest of corporate greed by allowing "fracking" to take place in our state.

I worked for over a year on a painting that I hoped would help people see our beautiful state as part of a living organism. It is now available as a signed print.

I grew up playing in a creek beside my childhood home in Jackson county and that same stream has been played in by generations of children stretching back before written history. Don't future generations deserve an environment that is safe?
