My art is an homage to the people who exercise their courage in order to live a more fulfilling life. To everyone who feels scared and/or anxious but does the brave thing every time, I know that struggle and I honor your bravery.

My early life followed the outlines of a common fairy tale set in a very whimsical world. I grew up just outside of a small village near the ocean. I smelled the orange blossoms on the salty ocean breeze. The Brahman cows in the pastures down the road drank their water from claw-foot bathtubs set in the fields. I watched from my backyard as the hopes and dreams of mankind, (and my name - courtesy of the JPL Stardust Project and NASA), were hurtled out to space in a rocket ship. And when my life was difficult and scary, a mouse in a castle assured me that fairy tale dreams do come true. It took some doing, but luckily for me, I am now living “happily ever after”.  

The dream psychology in my Oneiric art style is meant to offer encouragement, hope, joy and affirmation of the exhilaration of living an adventure. After all, happiness shared is happiness multiplied.

If you discover a bit of charming chaos or disorder hinted as an underlayment in my art, well, you now know where that originates. 

 My most current series of paintings will be exhibited at Morganton NC City Hall from June to July of this year (2021).  You are invited to come by to experience the thrill of these paintings! Please come visit me at the Morganton City Hall on July 15th, during the Third Thursday Art Crawl from 5 to 7:30 pm. I'd love to get your feedback on my art. 

If you celebrate a love of this great adventurous experiment called "life",  and you want original art that reflects your unique style, I believe this art will speak to you. Please view my portfolio and let me know what you think.
