My painting “Future:Hope” is currently featured in the main gallery window of Grafica in Webster Groves, MO (St Louis) We all need a bit of positivity right now and this painting gives me pause to reflect and refocus on our ability to create a positive future. Art matters and rekindles the spirit.

“Kaleidoscope Of Choices” is part of my Pathways series of oil paintings which focuses on the idea that we all have choices to make along our individual journeys. I appreciate all those who support my creative journey and invite everyone to follow along. More to come.
