from the ashes
we rise
battered
but not broken
and better

This year has been quite the odyssey for me. A metastasized cancer scare in the early months of 2015 left me with enough berries of wisdom to feed me for a lifetime. Indeed, an intense, personal experience and one that made crystal clear, the importance of my life’s pursuits - most importantly, be with the ones you love (for time is truly limited) and promptly go do whatever you’ve been putting off. Sounds cliche - it is - and yet, it is not.

So, for the last several months, I dropped out of the virtual world and have been letting my creativity flow wherever it wanted to meander. I worked with traditional art tools and eventually returned to the digital ones but with a new flair and renewed excitement for my art photography.

Thanks to all of you that have continued to follow me in my absence. I look forward to sharing my work with you again.
