I have been working on my next project for some time now. I always knew my art was a reflection of my inner demons, conflicts, resentments. I never realized to what depth the subjects that I am drawn to affect me. It is not about them. It is about what they bring up in me. My stuff, my issues, my joys, my fears, my grief. I never thought that practicing my craft would force me to this level of honesty. Some days it’s brutal; some days it’s blissfull. Again the mirror. I guess if I wanted off the fucking roller coaster, I would just shoot weddings or little kids with their puppies. Instead I keep digging at the scab, pulling the crap out, knowing eventually it will heal…….Knowing Eventualy it WILL heal!!

Thank you all for a great show! We had a full house and a good time was had by all! I am so pleased at the turn out because what I heard time and time again was how this area is starved for events like this, where people can hear fabulous music, appreciate some art, chill out and soak up some culture!! Thank you, John Carpenter, you’re the best kept secret in Central Florida!
I am very grateful to the folks that signed the guest book. Now I can go to other venues with proof that “Rediscover Your World” is a fruitful attraction so we can do it again and infuse this area with what people have been craving.
As for this artist, I have not gotten up off the couch yet and I think this is where I will stay a bit longer!
Love, Light and Gratitude!!!

Well, here we are two days before my first show. I don’t know how my loved ones have not just hung me by my toenails. I am a little stressed and am realizing what a perfectionist I am. In short, I have been a pain in the ass. I know, however, that I have learned to let go of a lot of things. I choose not to tortour myself (and others) the way I used to. I can only do the footwork and ultimately the rest is out of my control.
Through all the planning (food, wine, entertainment, promoting, marketing, etc.) one thing remains clear. This deep, tranquil knowing that my creator and I made a deal three years ago when I walked away from a self-destructive path. I didn’t know when or how but I knew that I was being elevated to a greater calling and that amazing things would happen in my life.The last six months I have been shown, in a magical way, the world we live in. I have felt my planet longing for me, my touch, my time, my presence and I couldn’t wait to bring this home. I am a messanger for our earth, and how she rejoices in us and wants to show us her love.
All this is clear, I am loved, provided for, taken care of and in alignment with what I was put here to do.
So I am absolutely bursting with exitement to share this work with you, my fellows….my friends. All is well.
