I believe most competition is ridiculous, pointless, and needlessly programmed into all of us from Day 1.

A timely reminder to myself about the nature of trust, spirit, and new growth.

The rain and the sun work together to create the possibility for new growth to happen.

Some of the very first paintings I made as a new painter were of trees.

There’s always been something about trees that inspires me. As I started being a painter, my artist’s eye was mesmerized by their frozen dramatic winter forms, and I imagined them dancing and communicating with everyone who passed by.
