Here is a post with my paintings!  When I was a little girl, I read a book called 'Miss Rumphius' by Barbara Cooney.  I still own that book, and have it sitting out on my kitchen table, now, as I type.  I re-read this book often because it holds a life lesson that I think is one of the most important one of all:  to leave the world more beautiful than we found it.  This can be a simple thing, like taking care of a garden, growing flowers, being accountable, responsible, giving and living a life of service, and it can also mean art, or perhaps being a lawyer, or whatever you are.  No matter what you do or who you are there are so many ways we can do this - leave the world more beautiful than we found it - and that is what I hope and try to do with my paintings and with my art.
