A couple sits in the grass at Central Park, a picnic of grapes, wine and cheeses. The world busily going on without them, and they hardly notice. He tenderly feeds her a grape, and she waits in anticipation for one of the delicious element of his love

A couple sits closely in a crowded place, listening to the music, sipping on sweet wine...totally captivated by the moment. Everyone seems to fade away, unimportant, un-existing. They raise a toast to each other, completing the perfect moment.

His heart and mind are so intertwined,
With the duties of life we all grow up to find.
But life is so short, it will pass you by-
On this tightrope called life we ride and ride
Sooo grab your wings since time does fly...
It's all about balance, with all in this world.
Without sun there's no rain- without love there’s no pain.
Understand the key to life, and you will finally see-
Even a simple flower transmits love and energy.
So leave your briefcase at the door and your stresses behind,
and explore the real wonders of the world that are worth waiting to find ~

Each Mosaic is one of a kind. Carefully constructed multiple giclee panels are attached together to form one piece, after it is heavily hand embellished. There is a small edition of 20 in this unique edition.
Symbolic from a dream I had, we start with the buildings swaying above- showing the places we all travel to and live in our life times. The white horse dancing freely symbolizes peace, and the guitar and elephant playing the trumpet represents the importance of creativity and music in our lives. The cherub dancing to the music represents the child in all of us, and the ladder represents us moving forward in life. The home placed carefully in the middle is where where we always come back to ..our center. The man giving in to his inner child-rides away to work while his lover swoops down and gives him an unexpected kiss in the midst of chaos ~never forgetting the importance of the little things in life.

Stopping to smell a Plumeria flower while Hawaii's enchanted beauty surrounds them. Love is as delicate as a flower, slowly blooming, carefully developing, and strong once opened fully. Flowers are a symbol of love, life and future. Here is a couple caught in the magic of love, the mystery of life, and the hope of a future

The woman in this painting is leaning against a door, holding an orchid. The door represents change, should you open and accept it. Maybe it's branching out to find your dream job, or moving to that place you've always wanted to live, or ending something that wasn't meant to be. The woman is leaving the past behind, to embrace her dreams for the future. The orchid not fully opened yet, is the change-taking place, slowly blossoming into a bright new beginning.

This woman beholds a deep inner peace and tranquility. This strength guides her through times of change, a test of courage and ability to look beyond. She is reflective in a moment of self- awareness. This love and wisdom from within defines her as a woman- strong and true.
