Profile
Life isn’t always happy, nor is it always sad; but rarely is it merely in between the two. In the land of polar extremes lie my creations. Some find what is written or painted on these pages to be disturbing and dark; yet they are the very things that get me through the dark times. I share with you my heart, my self and my hope.
Inspiration almost always sneaks up from behind and catches me by surprise. Many times I am inspired by one of your works, either visual or written. For your help, I am grateful. Your graciousness warms me deeply.
Thank you for stopping by and spending a brief moment in my world.

Too Much Fabric Softener
We were just standing at the front of the restaurant waiting to be seated when I heard my mother’s quiet gasp. Puzzled, I turned to see her turning crimson and thought she was falling ill. B…
Jay Walking
The layers of smoke filled the room like waves of a dirty, dusty fog that the wind could never quite blow away. It didn’t keep me from watching her. She sat on the red cushioned bar stool with …
Welcome The Darkness
In the dark she sat. In the dark and in the corner. On the floor. Knees to her chest, head on her knees, hands on her head. In the dark. Eyes squeezed shut. Hiding. The light behind her eyes j…
Red, Swirly and Pointed
Alien fingers? How the hell would she even know what alien fingers look like? “Daddy,” she continued, “everyone knows that Alien Fingers are red, and swirly and they have very pointy ends.…

She had trusted him. Yet, for the fourth time this week, on the same bridge, there he was with him. Sharing secrets. Her secrets. Secrets he had promised not to tell. Trust was always precario…
