the snakes and irises ...

Still not a great artist, but I am prolific. Art is a part of every day for me. Sometimes, I get attached to a particular subject, and it will crop up again and again, like an archetypal experience. The raven (and other corvids), dandelions, ball moss, banana tree blooms, prayer flags, jellyfish, clams, and whales are among those who have surfaced with great insistence. These are not necessarily subjects that hold any specific memories for me - but there they are. When they do surface - the snakes and irises - they bring me a most profound sense of trust and wonder.
