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.

Everyone Said So
Everyone said he was a nice guy. His co-workers. The people at church. Her family. Even the mayor and town council. If you met him, you’d shake his hand and think, “What a nice guy.” T…
Find the Phone
The phone rings in the middle of the night. And rings. And rings. I try to answer it, but can’t find it. My hand flops around the nightstand like the proverbial fish out of water. I’d …
The Task
