Silence,
they say, is the voice of complicity.
But silence is impossible. Silence screams. Silence is a
message, just as doing nothing is an act. Let who you are
ring out & resonate in every word & every deed.
Yes, become who you are. There's no sidestepping your own
being or your own responsibility. What you do is who you
are.
You are your own comeuppance.
You become your own message.
You are the message."

About
Me:
Bask
in the warmth and the brightness of the colors of my paintings,
dance with the playfulness of the characters which have graced our
lives, and take in the love and respect offered to this earth and
its creatures which flows openly from my site.
Peruse
through as many sections as you like, making sure to stop and look
at my new additions in the Gallery of Pictures and Stories.
"Art
with a Conscience" is about waking,
being receptive, and living life aware of all those beautiful things
around me. Whether you are a singer, writer, dancer, gardener, home
builder, busy executive, student, or in transition, you possess
your own special talents and creative gifts. And it is those creative
endeavors which leads to the corridor of our true-life passions.
Following your passions can be very therapeutic, expressive and
meaningful if you can find the right outlet! And, it can lift one's
spirits, help heal, reveal inner emotions, and ultimately allow
us to find beauty of this earth, and in each other.
I
realize in a logical perspective, that I am not going to be able
to broadly change the world, but I know I can be an advocate of
change. I know that I cannot rescue every animal in need, but little
by little, I can help one animal at a time. I know, I can make a
difference!
Like
songwriters and musicians who create music to tribute others, my
paintings are a tribute to animals and people.
 Although
loss was the instrument to activate this adventure, and rescue continues
to be the catalyst which compels me to stay actively involved, I
hope that my energies create a forum for change, offer new channels
for awareness, and most importantly speak to those viewers who entered
this space either by accident or divine intervention! As one of
my favorite quotes from Dr. Wayne Dyer states, "we are but spirit
having a human experience, vs. human beings having a spiritual experience".
Did
You Know : Ever
wonder what's in your pets food, or how to "leave a donation"
in your name after your passing to an animal organization? Ever
wonder why certain species are dying off and how you can help prevent
further extinction?
Visit
this section and read about interesting topics and links to other
sites which provide guidance on topics such as these (related to
animals, the planet and people).
Remember,
a portion of the proceeds from the sales of each original or artist
Giclee or print product will be donated to a shelter, wildlife fund
or humane organization of my choice.
