My commitment: To live my life on purpose.
My purpose: To illuminate our spirits thru my artwork, actions and attitude. Thru my life I have learned that we are all one. I believe that our spirits are connected whether they are from the human race, animal families, or our earth itself. I intend to strive to always chose to be kind in all matters. To chose to be compassionate and empathetic towards all beings. I am learning to direct my efforts toward bringing awareness to and relieving the plight of beings that live in less than loving, supportive environments
It is great fun to have the excuse of being an artist to travel all over the world! My goodness.
The past years were ones of travel for sure. I went to Africa in November of 08 and though it was
supposed to be a reference gathering trip it really didn't turn out to be that way. I met some
wonderful people, Kenyans and Americans. I was in Nairobi when our new president was elected. Talk
about timing! What celebration of hope and promise for a people that are basically without the
slightest bit of human comforts, such as floors or shoes.
I got to go to an elephant
orphanage and feed baby elephants who had lost their moms in drought or from poaching. They are
sensitive and sweet. They love each other and support each other, watch out for each other and are
just the most beautiful animal.
I went to Wyoming with my hubby. We spent 4 days in
Bozeman with friends photographing animals that are trained for the movie industry. They are
amazing and I've got references for a lifetime of painting (I always say that!) Here's an example:
