This heart is a contented growing heart. It’s big and getting bigger and sending out Fibonacci spirals of love into the atmosphere. It represents how anyone’s heart can grow and become bigger (in the metaphorical sense that anyone can feel and show love in bigger ways). Which makes the energy around us feel more lovingContinue reading “Growing the Energy of Love”

Sea turtles don’t mate for life I found this out while doing research for a commission I did a few years ago. My surfer son had just moved his family to Oahu, so I was lucky to spend a month or so there hanging out with his adorable beach babies. There was a whole thingContinue reading “Turtle Love”

This painting is about speaking words with love. Talking through our hearts, as in putting our heart where our words come out. Gentle words inform our environment. I think even plants, flourish when spoken to kindly.
