Part of my Song to a Seagull series...

"Joni Mitchell's beautiful song 'Song to a Seagull' began to echo in my mind and I felt the connection immediately; longing for something, to be somewhere else, to feel something else: to chase the freedom of the flying bird toward the dream you're holding onto in your hands.

These paintings are postcards to our dreams. Small, lively flares sent out to signal hope, to mark the act of still believing."
