| About the Artist | |
It is my intention to create intuitive, shamanic art that awakens the inner fires: burning, transmuting and healing, bringing life and color into a world that has become hardened, bland and overly linear. |

MermaidSeahorse
2008 |

| This was a commissioned piece intended to be attached to the outside of a house as a faux window. The client wanted a mermaid (brunette with red streaks) riding a seahorse. She later told me she wanted a shell with a pearl inside, a lionfish, a clownfish, a parrotfish, starfish and sea anenomes. When the painting was almost finished, she told me the mermaid needed to be wearing a string of pearls. It is very heavily varnished to protect it from the weather --it is attached to a house about one block from the ocean. |
