Where Dreams May Go

“Within your heart, keep one still, secret spot where dreams may go.” — Louise Driscoll

Only As Deep As Our Love

We saw the Aurora Borealis for the second time on the night of Feb. 18. We watched into the early morning of my late twin brothers’ birthday, on Feb. 19, 2014.

Artist’s Statement

I am a self-taught artist who paints with mindful brush strokes, juxtaposing darkness and shadow with brilliant light. The resulting images depict the radiant colors that can be seen in a storm at twilight, if only we can find it in ourselves to see.
