Good morning! This is Magnolia. This horse was part of the Horse Fever in Motion project. My husband sculpted the original, created the horse forms in fiberglass, and then I got to paint it. I think it's one of my favorites. 😍

What Remains.
Standing at the edge, treading lightly, casting what's left of myself. Who I was is gone. This is what remains. Bought and sold, before and after. Thoughts move from light into shadow. One event, one moment, became 2 lifetimes changed.

Winding down a studio day and thinking of the beach. Vilano was inspired by Vilano Beach. 36x36, mixed media.

BFA (Baby for Adoption) is the title of this painting, and it's a self-portrait. It's first in a series called Silent Voices representing the voices of mothers of adoption loss. BFA was used by hospitals to tell staff to keep our babies away from us. BFA was on my door and the wall above my bed.
