You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment.  Henry David Thoreau

A friend recently sent me that quote, saying that as he read it, he thought of me.  It's relevant.  Timely.  Another way of expressing, "Carpe Diem!"  Seize the Day!

Being an artist, identifying myself as an artist versus the admistrative professional that I have been, has been a scary proposition.  Surely, someone will see that I have no clue as to what I am doing!  I was wrong.  I am sharing images from my mind, and other people enjoy them.

Many of the works that I am posting are from 2010.  As I have them photographed and posted to this site, I am reminded of the stories that went into their creation.  As I post them, others share with me their thoughts, their stories.  This has brought me to experience New Love in a different way.  I love "being" an artist!

There is a story in every painting.  Find it and make it yours.

They're finding it!  Opportunities have come to me just by putting myself out there.  It's scary.  Different.  But I no longer stash my works behind the bookcases to live with the spiders.  I'm launching myself on every wave; I may fall down, but then again, I may ride it for a long time.
