If you’re looking for a unique and meaningful holiday gift, get in touch. I still have a few small paintings from the Chorus of Hope 6”x8” - $100.00
6”x12” - $150.00
9”x12” - $225.00
Chorus of Hope, a painting composed of an ever-growing number of smaller paintings, highlights the necessity of human interconnection, the enduring power of collective hope, and the beauty found in mutual care and love. Each painting carries its own distinct spark, yet belongs to a greater whole, serving as a reminder that hope grows stronger in connection, and that we are not alone in our yearning for light.

Excerpt from A BRAVE AND STARTLING TRUTH
by Maya Angelou
We, this people, on this small and drifting planet
Whose hands can strike with such abandon
That in a twinkling, life is sapped from the living
Yet those same hands can touch with such healing, irresistible tenderness
That the haughty neck is happy to bow
And the proud back is glad to bend
Out of such chaos, of such contradiction
We learn that we are neither devils nor divines
When we come to it
We, this people, on this wayward, floating body
Created on this earth, of this earth
Have the power to fashion for this earth
A climate where every man and every woman
Can live freely without sanctimonious piety
Without crippling fear
When we come to it
We must confess that we are the possible
We are the miraculous, the true wonder of this world
That is when, and only when
We come to it.

Everything is on fire,
but everyone I love is doing beautiful things
and trying to make life worth living,
and I know I don’t have to believe in everything,
but I believe in that.

Faith is not a question of the existence or non-existence of God. It is believing that love without reward is valuable.
― Emmanuel Levinas
#love #faith #visualpoetry #niknazk
May the nourishment of the earth be yours,
May the clarity of light be yours,
May the fluency of the ocean be yours,
May the protection of the ancestors be yours.
And so may a slow
Wind work these words
Of love around you,
An invisible cloak
To mind your life.
by John O’Donohue
#newyear #2025 #johnodonohue #blessings
As this year draws to its end,
We give thanks for the gifts it brought
And how they became inlaid within
Where neither time nor tide can touch them.
The days when the veil lifted
And the soul could see delight;
When a quiver caressed the heart
In the sheer exuberance of being here.
We bless this year for all we learned,
For all we loved and lost
And for the quiet way it brought us
Nearer to our invisible destination.
— John O’Donohue
