An adventure in sharing the soul of an artist endlessly recombining God-given elements that have their roots hooked into the Universe and perchance also into the hearts of human beings.

Our creativity is supported by creation!
As a tentative, budding artist we are always seeking support.....much as the soft tendrils of new plants shoot up their new leaves to the sun. This need for approval lessens as we get more confident in our creative power. We notice that we are supported every moment by creation itself. There is the earth beneath our feet and air filling our lungs. There is sunlight coming through the silence of the dawn and rain that sprinkles the dry desert to make the flowers bloom. Nature supports us in its seasons of change with the never ending panoramic view. But, isn't it wonderful to face a friend and feel how good it is when she/he says, "I love your work." Believe this support as you believe the floor that hold you up and the chair you sit in. Letting in the support is like polishing your soul.
An avid gardener, painter, poet... expanding the boundaries, planting seeds with great faith, appreciating the abundance of the harvest... embracing all the lessons from the garden, the page and the paint brush....it's all about growing.

Thank you for this! I am going to choose to take it 'personally.' ;)
