True Colors - Revealing your Authentic Self

I celebrate our human diversity and the beauty that each of our unique beings possess. While some may find it comfortable to blend in, finding comfort in a more subtle existence...I appreciate taking the courageous path of stepping into one's own and showing our True Colors.
The coupling of our Similarities and our Differences fosters a rich and expanding world. The Similarities comfort us in this big land of the unknown, and our Differences encourage us to grow and thrive like an individual bloom within a field of flowers, each being an important piece of the bigger picture.

When we shine and allow our True Colors to show, we encourage the next person to do the same, until soon the landscape is a cornucopia of lavish beauty.
These feelings are what inspired my painting "True Colors", bringing the courage of uniqueness alive within the Turtle's Shell. Each turtle has its similarities , but their shells offer a peak at their individual spirit.

Today, may all of your true colors shine, and may you inspire another to do the same.

My memories are filled with weekend events - celebrations, dinners, and dances held at different cultural community centers and churches. Everyone was welcome, and everyone would partake. This place had been a destination for many immigrants years back due to the opportunities for work. I remember my grandparents telling me about the old shoe and cigar factories, which were popular places for jobs. As the area grew, more and more industry came. Families were proud and grateful to have life long jobs that allowed them to take care of their families. There ...

Mermaid and Patina Moon

Mermaid and Patina Moon In the past she would swim to the surface to sit along the water's edge and watch the humans. She used to find them quite magical. Most mermaids thought so. But over time she lost her intrigue. She began seeing their shadow sides, and how their fears evolved into hate. She couldn't stand to watch them being so mean to one another anymore and decided to remain in the safe and loving waters of the cove. As the years passed she began to change. Merfolk don't age like humans, with wrinkles and such. Merfolk begin to patina when they age, a colorful sheen cloaks them, most especially their tail. As she began to patina, she became hidden in the waters even more. She blended into her surroundings with precision. This made the Moon ever so sad because he loved Fin the most. It seemed that every night it would take longer and longer to find her. Finally one cold night in November he called to Fin and presented her with a gift wrapped in stars. I...
