The Poetry of Silence
This selection of work is representative of the themes and ideas that engage me as I explore the light within me. They are quiet compositions that conjure poems written in the silence of my soul and that give clarity to themes of going home, of following dreams, and of healing. They are reductive in composition and color. (A click on the image will enlarge it and display information about the piece.)
