Inspirations from nature

All such amazing gifts we are offered to relish in.  These images were taken while I was with my daughters at the pacific science center here in seattle.  The butterflies were calm this day... Lovely and beautiful.

This sea creature was stunning although I refrained from touching.  The colors So divine.  The shapes and patterns inspired me to paint organically again!

I've been taking many moments out lately to appreciate life .  The details of motherhood, mothering, and the natural world have had such a profound impact on me.  The only way I seem to be able to relay this depth is thru colors, imagery , and photography.  What gifts they all are.  From is zig zag stitch on an up cycled top to the screen print of my poems on organic cotton shirts... I try to share these missing with the world through love and peace.

This upper image was created to explain to children the migration of turtles from the California area to Hawaii.  I loved the colors and the beauty of it all.   This was a gigantic globe of earth which resonated color from the inside...
