Even as a little girl I was chided for having no concept of order, a.k.a, a messy desk. Here’s how it went down: mom would threaten to throw all my “junk.” I would grudgingly clean my desk — organize the shelves, throw the scraps of paper lying around, align the text books, stow away…

I am no artist. Never considered myself a good photographer. Or designer. But I do have an eye for artwork that evokes emotion. Ponderance. Today I share with you some images I’ve created — modified drastically from the originals. Deeper colors, richer textures, a little other-worldly. They give me a sense of an altered…

There are some things that you just can’t take your eyes off of. Like these stone sculptures. There was something about their still presence that captivated me. Someone had spent the time to find the right-sized, right-shaped stones that could be aligned perfectly. Stacked them up. And then left them there for others to…

Have you ever walked on the beach around sunset? It seems other-worldly. The mist and the light conjuring up a surreal scene. So fragile. So serene. People soaking in the last rays of the sun. Reveling in the beauty of the moment. Some, like this woman, staring into the endless ocean. Seeking answers ……
