Visual sanctuaries for hope, joy and peace

Welcome

I paint what reminds me of peace and hope. My work is intended to be a visual sanctuary--a quiet reminder of the goodness that surrounds us. 

To me, light is hope and colors are feelings. So maybe the tree trunks are redder, the colors warmer, and the light filters through gently and consistently, like how hope comes through in my life. It’s not intrusive, always present, generously and quietly reminding me that better days—or perhaps even just better moments—are there when we choose to notice.

 

I am glad you're here. Please stay a while and wander through the gallery.
