      <image:caption>From the Bottom of My Heart 15” w x 18”h Canvas Mixed media Thinking about the all encompassing dopamine filled rush of falling in love these deep emotions are overwhelming, infinite, like the metaphorical comparison poet Emily Dickinson brings to describe love. It flows freely, vulnerably, immensely. She compares this to a river flowing into the Sea where she asks the sea to take her. I create the centre heart by transforming drawings of other works that bring earth and sky and water together. The butterflies in blues depict the water of Emily’s river flowing. Her poem is written on the back of the painting.‘ here are a few lines.. ‘My river runs to thee, blue Sea, Wilt thou welcome me?”</image:caption>

You can feel like you're transported or at times colliding into another world.   The visuals depict this idea of seeing all the possibilities. Though in that process remaining who you are can bring solutions that make sense for all.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Heartstrings 30”w x 40” h Canvas mixed media Missing my father and I let the memories flow, mixed feelings of heartache yet comfort from the beautiful memories. The imagery has a sense of strings like the harp given his love of music and tears from reflecting. The colours of greens and blues are a nod to the sea near where he lived and where some of his ashes were shared.. The quote below will be on the back of the work. “Tis better to have loved and lost, Then never to have loved at all.” Alfred Lord Tennyson.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Faith. ( 1 of 4 -Faith, Hope, Love and Insight) “Faith, hope, love, and insight, are the highest achievements of human effort. They are found-given- by human experience.” Carl Jung It gives me pause to think about what he says here and how profound the meaning, one cannot buy this of highest achievement, it is earned through these things he has described. How beautiful a path he lays out, it is about a way of living. These can be custom created one of 3 sizes. 30” x 30”/20” x 20”/12” x 12” Original art, only 1 of this mini series will be available in a custom size.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Active Surrender 24”w x 30”h Canvas mixed media Within the immersive wildness of Nature I created loose forms that were of no particular representation, other than in this series larger combining shapes of both the butterfly wings and other forms like floral petal sections or plant leaves or rocks, stems, anything that drew my eyes randomly. Then I created my own imaginative nature creature. This one is an elastic one that continually reforms itself, surrendering to a new shape becoming whatever to survive.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>A Spectacle 24”w x 30”h Canvas mixed media Wrapping forms around the butterfly I drew expressing its interconnectedness to the other forms in nature I found, without them it cannot survive. An expression of how the creature looks interacting with petals and wind and other shapes forming from different angles around it. Things can’t exist in a vacuum solitary without interaction. There is a wonderful performance in nature.</image:caption>
