We all like stories. Although I am a writer of poetry and prose, many of the stories I tell take form in my paintings and drawings.

Every story begins with the original storyteller, yet stories often develop a life of their own. They seem to  grow and become richer - deeper-  as they are retold.

I invite you to
listen to the stories in my pictorial playground. Wander into my mix of visual enchantments and discover your own stories along the way.

Hang It Up

Arbutus trees - iconic to the rocky landscapes of coastal British Columbia, Oregon, and Washington. You'll feel like you're in a Northwest Pacific meadow  when you hang one of my collectible prints on your home or office wall.  You'll also find print-at-home art in my shop.
