# About me

I am a Poet, a Dancer. a Dreamer, a Dryad. I Love Laughter, Language, Learning, Mystery, Magic, Myth and yes Alliteration. I am a multi-published poet and a writer. I use my painting more as an extension of my writing than anything else. I am about to publish the first book of a series titled "Chakra Circle." I'm currently looking for a cover artist. I'd love to do it myself, but don't think my work has the polish I want for the books.

So! I just bought a framed art print of Traveler. The more I look at it the more I like it. I'd still like to know if it came from a story or if it is just asking for one . . .

I'm not sure if this comment was meant for me? I don't have a piece/print titled Traveler Sweating a little...

No, it was not you. I'm sorry. I was looking at several people at once.

Thank you for taking the time to welcome me! I appreciate it so much. I love your work. So much sadness . . . the sorrow swirls and catches in the depth of the colors in "Inner Demons." "Words Hurt" is all too familiar to me and many others I am sure. I've felt that way, you know, "you might as well carve it in my skin." The deep, still, silent sorrow in the eyes of "Dove" makes my breath catch. It was "Fragile Wings" that really nearly did me in. The combination of the concept with the utterly unique way you have formed those wings is magnificent and the human truth, I think, is in the feet, the way she is holding herself. So real. It is a great gift to be able to give image to grief. I hope it clears something for you.

Thank you so much! I've definitely got a thing for trees! Dryads here, Dryad's there, if you look there are Dryads everywhere! My creative endeavors are brought together under the name "Dryad Dance."

A pleasure amazing creator of fantasies! :D (Big Grin) The Muses of the Parnassus dance happily when you create your art!

Namaste. In truth. I am on my way to Greece toward the end of the month. I don't think I will make it to Parnassus in person this time, but it lives, in its sacred reality in the heart of every poet. It gave me a clean, clear shot of joy smack in the solar plexus to find someone else who even knows it exists - so much is forgotten. If the muses dance, I will be with them. Thank you, so very much.

I hope they will cover you with fiery kisses of divine magic and give you golden wings that will open your eyes, being and soul to whole new worlds of inspiration and divinity that will inspire new flames of art and poetry within you
