ARTIST INTENTION

My intention is that these pieces become for you a source of energy. As you take in the rays of light, the beams of color, as you become hypnotized or mesmerized, if even for a moment you are taken outside of your usual way of thinking or perceiving or brought into a space of peace and timelessness, then I did my work. My intention is that these pieces will serve your spirit. I hope they energize and uplift you. I hope this work brings you back to yourself, your innocence, your heart’s longings, your true calling, your simplicity or to the infinite source of creative spirit. I see these images showing up in places where people need to be energized and uplifted. I envision some of them in hospitals, doctors’ offices, hospices, holistic healing centers, yoga studios and chiropractic offices. I see others contributing to making homes into vibrant, healing sanctuaries. I see them bringing harmony to gathering places like restaurants, hotels, kitchens and living rooms.
