I read classic children's literature; why? Because it gives me things I can not find in everyday life. So I paint these stories in oil over much-loved vintage storybook pages. In these paintings, I see a tolerance towards eccentricity, acceptance of others, magic in the ordinary, and escape into a world where anything is possible.  I paint these tales to bring these messages to others, see the truth about the world and human nature more clearly, and keep the stories alive.  
I am a believer in manifesting-dreams, designing a better life. These tales are potent tools to feed the imagination and see possibility in our own lives.  Inspiration, small steps, and "Dreams Do Come True."
