My print just came in today and I love it! It's a gift for a friend and I can't wait to see her face! I only wish the print were offered on bigger sizes and on different mediums; canvas would have been really nice.

Life is Beautiful

Life is Beautiful... Let's keep it that way! Protected Land is pure joy for me as painter and life long protector of the earth.

People are drawn to my work because it is not a "textbook" interpretation of nature. There is a joyful expression of color and layers of line work, often on the animals and plants themselves, that act as a "blessing" or human thumbprint on the animal to adorn and celebrate its natural phenomenon, power, and beauty.

When I paint, I am celebrating the animal and its habitat, the way natives paint their hands on a horse's face or cave wall. A tribute, a connection from human to nature that says "I love you, I respect you, and I will protect you".

I hope these paintings find their way into the hands of fate and inspire people from all over to love & protect our heritage, resources, and wildlife. We are all connected, from the ocean waters to the mountain air. Let's celebrate the beauty of life!

P.S. I embrace the Post Secret community (postsecret.com), and I frequently include others secrets in my item listings to spread the inspiration.
