OWC #1

In my work I paint energy. The invisible energy that flows around us and through us. While I paint I receive insights from my Spiritual Source, my Inner Wisdom. Here is a short excerpt that accompanied the above painting created in February 2012 . "We always seek answers. We need to know why things happen, what ...

Scarred Art Exhibit

Saturday morning, after a walk in the rain, I went to the Brewery Art Walk to meet up with the LA Art and Museum Meetup Group. My first time connecting with this varied crowd of art enthusiasts.

Abstract art touches our Spirit

Last Sunday, at my group art show "From Within," I was touched to have friends and family attend the opening reception. My sister and two nieces came up from Orange County, and other friends from the area stopped by to support me, all of whom I was so humbled to see. As I walked around the ...

Silent Ether

The ether is an invisible medium for light waves and other forms of radiant energy. It is the invisible spirit, the cosmic vastness of the unseen.
