The Story

What makes the lovely lady smile
Beneath the willow tree?
Is she smiling at a suitor
Just beyond the scene?
Or at the stars that twinkle,
Or the garden, all in bloom?
No, she’s smiling at the future
While she hums a happy tune.

My Artwork

All of my art originates from the stories I write. I see my “story paintings” as windows that provide just enough to start the observer down the path, but leave a little mystery to ignite their imagination. I believe that artwork that reflects goodness and truth can bring light into people’s lives, encouraging them and giving them hope.

Shipping Information

Original paintings are carefully prepared for shipping. My shipping process includes: 1) Covering the art surface with glassine paper, 2) Covering front and back of art with a layer of cardboard, 3) Wrapping a thick layer of bubble wrap, and then 4) Inserting the wrapped art into a heavy-weight cardboard box. If you would like to purchase my work and are OUTSIDE THE U.S.—please contact me directly and I can provide a shipping estimate and then an invoice.
