The dictionary defines art as the “human effort to imitate, supplement, alter, or counteract the work of nature.”* Art is definitely a matter of personal perception, if you leave academia out of it. Our culture bombards us with art and art imitations on all sides. Art is just as much the experience you create when you interact with it as is the piece of work itself. Perhaps the viewing, experiencing and the creating are the real arts, not the actual product itself.

Welcome to my exploration of art as it comes through me. My work is intended, but not constrained to, explore those emotions of which we are often unaware. I am deeply interested in the spiritual side of life. Please enjoy your visit. I appreciate your interest and welcome any dialogue.

Most of my work is available for purchase and I do accept commissions. You can reach me at turtlespirit@mac.com.
