As Time Slips Away
As Time Slips Away Every time I gaze out the back window of my house, I’m reminded of the baby swing suspended from a towering tree. It’s a poignant reminder of the former neighbors who left after four years, leaving behind a tangible connection […]
Feed My Sheep
As an artist, I’ve come to realize that many of my peers prioritize passive income over a full-time income. They prefer to focus on their craft rather than the business side of things. However, in today’s oversaturated online world, communicating one’s message effectively can […]

Springtime Blossom

Tree Patterns Shadows Houses
One or Another – Square
I’ve been attracted by trees lately. The light and shadow play on the branches. The colors from the Fall Season. But deeper, the formations from their environment and the other trees around them .. Or not. Trees, very much like our lives, all have […]
