Read my blog

I am the author and illustrator of 4 published books, blog, and app.

My passion is to express ancient spiritual teachings in words and pictures. My format is to use a famous quote to inspire a short poem and painting reflecting the essence of the spiritual teaching. I call them little vignettes. I use simple language to allow all ages to understand and communicate these little sayings about enormous things. Many of the paintings use Maya (my Shih Tzu Puppy) as the muse.

App

Maya's Daily Meds - a unique iphone/ipad app

Books

- The Sun, the Moon, the Stars and Maya

- Earth, Wind, Fire and Maya

- Embrace Every Step

- Annie and Me
