My husband died 9 months ago. We were together for 10 years, married not even a full year. I am 27 years old and live in Wisconsin. On what would have been our first wedding anniversary my girlfriends took me to San Diego…to “get away.” I often wonder if one day, I will be able to get away. On my trip I saw one of your prints; I bought it, a gift to myself from my husband. My husband was a graffiti artist, and appreciated all art.
I call it my anniversary painting. I recently bought two of your original paintings! While I don’t have a lot of money, I was determined to do whatever it took to purchase your paintings. I just received the confirmation that they were sent and for a moment… I was happy.
Know, in my sad gray world, your paintings bring beauty.
Thank you for that moment of happiness,
Sarah
in the very instant that i finished reading sarah’s email, i realized something hugely important (in between tears): i create art to heal the pieces of me that need nurturing. and in turn, my healing experience (the actual art) becomes a portal for someone else’s healing experience. and it goes on and on like a circle of healing…from one person to the next.it was an aha moment i had to share because this is what we’re all doing out there in the world with our gifts and our art and our words and our beings. we are nurturing and healing ourselves with our various work/craft/being which then goes forward out into the world to become a part of someone else’s healing experience. i can’t think of a better way to live…we are indeed all connected inside this deeply meaningful circle of of giving and receiving. it gives me chills.

I love everything you do! Im 69 looking at retiring. Have five children and 10 grandchildren. I’m redoing my bedroom. 8 years ago when I moved into a condo by myself after my husband Walked out I took a calendar of yours and framed all the months pictures. They were a collage on a big wall over my bed. I now have about 12 new wall hanging in my cart on amazon. I still love everything you do. You inspire me to
Be kind, considerate, helpful, generous and so much more. Thank you.
