Everywhere, the work points to a connection to nature and to inner spirit as a way to be restored to wholeness. Here is an artist who has faced difficulties, found her way, and is sharing her miracles through paintings.
It’s the kind of art that rubs off … you can take it in like a dream, and let it work on you.
~Teresa Annas, Virginian Pilot
