Shining Spirit Art     
artist statement

I feel the strength of both the people and the environment in which we live.  As I encounter a person, their essence resonates with me.  I have a reverence for the landscape that surrounds me at any given time.   Lately, I am more aware of each moment that is filled with a person and the environment that surrounds them.  

Within both the physical and the landscape I feel a spirit pushing forward.  That spiritual setting keeps me humble and striving to make small steps in my spiritual journey everyday.  This has led me to make art that can define my movement on this path to share my experience.

My hope is that the observers of my images may become more aware of their emotions towards others and understand what the earth needs to be sustained.  Then people will positively embrace the feelings of others and treat the environment of this planet with care.  If we all can sense our connection on this earth, I believe we will treat each other and  the planet with more compassion.  Then, the world may blossom into a place where we lose our fear of other cultures and  feel comfortable with our neighbors.  We will work together to find solutions to our environmental concerns.  Hopefully,  I can move the needle just a little in the direction of caring for our fellow human beings and the earth by sharing my art.
