the life of their lost grandparent, dog or cat which

About
Me:
Bask
in the warmth and the brightness of the colors of my paintings,
dance with the playfulness of the characters which have graced
our lives, and take in the love and respect offered to this
earth and its creatures which flows openly from my site.
Peruse
through as many sections as you like, making sure to stop
and look at my new additions in the Gallery of Pictures and
Stories.
"Art
with a Conscience" is about waking,
being receptive, and living life aware of all those beautiful
things around me. Whether you are a singer, writer, dancer,
gardener, home builder, busy executive, student, or in transition,
you possess your own special talents and creative gifts. And
it is those creative endeavors which leads to the corridor
of our true-life passions. Following your passions can be
very therapeutic, expressive and meaningful if you can find
the right outlet! And, it can lift one's spirits, help heal,
reveal inner emotions, and ultimately allow us to find beauty
of this earth, and in each other.

Liz & Gibson in 2004. Gibson sadly passed away on Oct
22nd 2009. He was 17, and lived an amazing, great long life
with my friend Richie. He will be missed but his memory will
live on forever. I have always loved this picture of him because
he's smiling at Richie so adoringly. And if you look close,
he's got his paw over my leg like he was really posing for
the shot. What a hambone!
I
realize in a logical perspective, that I am not going to be
able to broadly change the world, but I know I can be an advocate
of change. I know that I cannot rescue every animal in need,
but little by little, I can help one animal at a time. I know,
I can make a difference!
Like
songwriters and musicians who create music to tribute others,
my paintings are a tribute to animals and people.

 Although
loss was the instrument to activate this adventure, and rescue
continues to be the catalyst which compels me to stay actively
involved, I hope that my energies create a forum for change,
offer new channels for awareness, and most importantly speak
to those viewers who entered this space either by accident
or divine intervention! As one of my favorite quotes from
Dr. Wayne Dyer states, "we are but spirit having a human
experience, vs. human beings having a spiritual experience".
Did
You Know : Ever
wonder what's in your pets food, or how to "leave a donation"
in your name after your passing to an animal organization?
Ever wonder why certain species are dying off and how you
can help prevent further extinction?

Silence,
they say, is the voice of complicity.
But silence is impossible. Silence screams. Silence is a
message, just as doing nothing is an act. Let who you are
ring out & resonate in every word & every deed.
Yes, become who you are. There's no sidestepping your own
being or your own responsibility. What you do is who you
are.
You
are your own comeuppance.
You become your own message.You are the message."
