New work alert!

Published

That’s right my peeps; I’ve been cranking out the art so much I forgot what the sun looked like!  Oh well these were worth it. I’m pleased to announce three new Commando photozaics to the family; After the Storm, Coming up Peachy and Stick figures. You and see these in Person starting August 7th & 9th for our Western show located on the 2nd floor of Solar Arts Building NE Minneapolis, MN.

After the Storm

They whispered to her you cannot withstand the storm; she whispered back I AM THE STORM.   Sometimes we need to rage like a storm, it’s the “knowing” when you it’s time to rage versus walking away with your inner sense of calm.  

Coming up Peachy

Don’t miss an opportunity to watch the sunrise, it’s a great way to begin a brand-new day filled with limitless possibilities.  This trip was over the 4th
of July and my friend and I got up early to photograph a sunrise instead of the gorgeous sunsets that we see from her island.  We ventured out predawn and found a great spot to dock the boat; sat and watched this sunrise come up over the horizon.  

Stick Figuires

Changing seasons are opportunities to harvest (autumn), shed what no longer serves you and go within (winter), plant seeds (spring) and growth (summer)! Like the trees I named Stick Figures now is the time to go within and see what needs to be released so you have room to plant new seeds of prosperity come springtime.  What are you willing to let go, to grow?  Inner peace can be achieved by following Mother Nature’s changing of the season cycle, by Natalie McGuire.

Dates: Month of July 2025

Accepted work: Ocean Migration

When I read this quote below by Sarah Kay, I see this image in my mind’s eye.  “Because there’s nothing more beautiful than the way the ocean refuses to stop kissing the shoreline, no matter how many times it’s sent away.”  Allow calm views, like Ocean Migration, to wash away stress and negativity that impede your inner peace.  It is easy to imagine the rocks rolling towards the water, welcoming the waves of constant kisses that are constantly coming at them.

End of Day

Sunsets are proof that no matter what happens, every day can end beautifully by Kristen Butler- Go out and be one with Mother Nature; allow her to show you we are all one with the universe.  So, fill your heart with beautiful images that keep your Soul’s light shining bright!  End of Day is a symphony, where all participants flow in harmony and me with my camera the composers- one of the best gifts given to me from nature. 

Wolf n Bear?

Some people come into our lives and quickly go, some stay for a while, leaving footprints on our hearts and we are never the same- by Flavia Weedn.  Indigenous cultures believe that bear footprints and the bear itself represent strength, courage and the connection to the natural world.  This image reminds me of the ones that left their footprints on my soul.

There’s a difference between pretty and beautiful.  When someone is pretty, they have a good appearance, but when someone is beautiful, they shine from the inside out. – by Rishikajain.
