Heart-struck amazement is what I feel when a dragonfly is perched nearby. Something benevolent and lighthearted speaking to me… In one telling, the red dragonfly is an emissary from a dear departed one, silently holding space for you.

Being born in the Caribbean, I have an abiding love for tropical foliage and creatures. The exotic iridescent colors of the native hummingbirds are irresistable!

Some of our most magnificent cousins in the animal world live in Africa. This painting focuses on the revered elephant.

A partner piece to the elephant previous… the gentle mammals at the watering hole, always wary for the sudden calamity.

I love these little guys, in their slippery skin suits!

Some parts of the reef are almost too cool for school. That’s where these guys hang out.

Sharp teeth and dragons and T-Rex, oh my!

Sometimes you just gotta step out and accept your own awesomeness!

Ah, for the life of a pink flamingo, living in a Hawaiian resort!

The water’s edge is one of my favorite motifs… the cool glisten of reflections, the dark shadows of the sheltering plants.
