into the garden - deep summertime
This is the first in a series of paintings that illuminate the transformative beauty of the natural world. To visually express how total immersion into the deep greenness of gardens and wild spaces can create a profound sense of peace; restore wonder; and generate calm in an increasingly chaotic world.

QUESTIONS NEED ANSWERS
Interior page from the children's picture book that I am working on, titled "The Mysterious Monster March"
--------------------------------------
Finally back on land, Meenu finds two friends.
He politely asks each one the same question:
“Tell me please, where are we going.”
Beethia replies sweetly, “I cannot be certain my dear, but I feel drawn toward a special place deep within the forest.”
Quizzerbee uses his many arms to shrug “I don’t know.”

Monster in a Teacup
Humans aren't the only ones who enjoy a spot of tea now and again. Little monsters have been know to slip quietly into kitchens when no one is around and sneak a sip of two of freshly brewed sweetness. Alas, some of these tiny creatures may become so enamored with the tea, that they sip themselves silly and fall into a state of euphoria, causing all manner of behavior.

INNER MONSTERS
Inner Monsters don't necessarily look like "real" monsters. They are part of that constant chatter going on in the background of our own minds, shaping our view of the world. They can appear in a variety of forms, from human, animal, monster-like, even as plants! Most of us... ahem... keep our inner beasties tucked "safely" in the closet, hoping they won't decide to reveal themselves at inopportune times, causing all manner of embarrassing moments, like sudden extreme shyness, unexplained crying jags, overwhelming crankiness, or laughing out loud for no apparent reason, among others. Sound familiar?
The solution is (drum roll please...) to MEET your inner monsters, SEEK to understand them, EMBRACE them as yours, and then LEARN about yourself through them. Bring them out of your personal inner-verse and set them free!

FIRST SINK, THEN SWIM
Another page from the picture book that I am working on, titled "The Mysterious Monster March"
-----------------
Uh-Oh. Meenu’s leaf begins to fill with water.
Guess it’s time to learn to swim!
Jumping in, he sinks like a stone and lands on the sandy bottom.
“Burble, burble, burble?” Meenu asks a creature floating by.
“Burble, burble, burble,” it replies.
“Well, that’s not helpful,” Meenu thinks, and somehow paddles back up to the surface.

THE PEACE BEASTS
Declare your imagination and inspiration!
The Universe conspires to make your heart-felt dreams and wishes come true. There seems to be a lot of bad happening in the world - no surprise - we accept that with no question. Why? Why do we often readily accept the bad but question the good? Choose a different message. For yourself. For others. Declare yourself a Purveyor of Peace! A Sower of Smiles! Become an active creator of the joyful world you wish to live in.
