You are on a personal journey, living life as the hero of your very own fairytale. With this new painting series I immerse in and visually express the sensations of wonderment, sorrow, fear, beauty and ultimate triumph found in fairytales. Each of us has our own ideals which give us meaning as we wind our way through perceived obstacles, fraught with danger but also filled with love and insight. It is our personally held ideals that remain our companions, whether we betray them or not, they are within us. Light and shadow, color create the scenes which take us on our way through choices and experiences.
