This way or that way ? The road we choose is not always one that came to us by way of choice first. Sometimes we are propelled in that direction by forces beyond our control such as a pandemic or life altering changes. Sometimes we are given a choice of several paths set in motion by life events beyond our control. Sometimes we find opportunities and blessing down a path we had no idea would come our way ...nor would have chosen for ourselves had circumstances been any different at all. -HC 2020
Reminding you to pause to look forward to the bright light of the future. The palm trees gently sway in the light of the sun ...soothing your soul.
The political climate of 2020 Was loud.
I hid amidst the colors not the sounds with my own point of view knowing that none of it matters when your facing your own mortality. How I wish we survivors of that eye opener could hand that perspective to the world.
Rest For the Weary
For some work stopped. For others work continues and never stops...
This impasto sculptured flower piece is created with love and compassion for those who are weary from 2020 and just need a little bit more rest for their souls...
Frame included.
Sit and be still. Can you find your own inner space between the words. What do you hear ? You decide.
The dark inner black line represents that space. What will you fill it with? Breathe...
The shutdown changed life for everyone in 2020. When the street became empty as well as the grocery store shelves.

Sunflowers amidst the rubble reminds us of new beginnings. Impasto sunflowers in acrylic on canvas
I spent much of 2020 in hospitals -this round bouquet reminds me of the joyful rounds of caring medical personnel that welcomed my complicated case and helped me find the answers. I saw so many doctors who didn’t listen this reminds me of the ones who did and the staff that seldom get praise for caring and treating patients like they would family. The unspoken hero’s of hospital work “In the rounds” honors the loved one you know who either has to spend too much time in hospitals or those who have been the caregiver. The nurse. The doctor. The lab technician. The essential workers who provide care despite the risks.
It also reminds us of gratitude. Knowing the sun will always shine regardless of the pandemic. Even in the dark there is light. Just turn on a blacklight to see this light up! PM me for the video it’s mesmerizing....

"Going At It Alone" - Acrylic impasto on canvas.
Quarantine hit and this piece became one of my favorites to create. The flowers melt down the canvas as we all did Slowly finding out the news of covid 19. I found happiness in the vibrant hues of purple and loved trying out a new technique with using paper mixed into my medium.
Plucked from the water these water lillies are a perfect pair. Just like fire the golden sunset burns behind them so passionately. Love burns brightly when it’s side by side. I love the vines holding them tighter creating a bond.
The Green Room... where you wait for news, results, or to get on stage. This green room was a quiet serene peaceful garden of green and violet and you could smell the honeysuckle. I could sit in this green room indefinitely.
The blue of the water is the blue of nearly a midnight sky and it crawls into the neon orange petals blowing in a breeze. I can feel the wind on my face and the warmth of the sunshine on my shoulders. The water glistens like copper on the lake .
