Lillies are some of my favorite flowers to paint, and I always look forward to their appearance every spring & summer. This is a form of hope.

I composed this Jazz Mass in honor of Rev. Dale Lind. It never fails to bring me goose bumps when encountering a community’s powerful spirit.

I channel the energy of love, nature, life and hope into every color I use. This is a self portrait of me holding my hopeful good energy, despite a life that is often harsh.

The painting is a depiction of a princess with red beads on her neck, trying to hold firm her hairs with her two hands in the expection of her prince to be.

Just the way we hope for a better world, an aging human hopes for rest in “peace”.

Living and working miles away from my family as a nurse during this pandemic is very hard. I keep my faith to Jesus that all will all be well soon.
