About the artist
This Gallery site is dedicated to showing the relationship between mother and child in all of us...
in every country.
"My goal is to convey in my paintings a sense of peace, hope
and love. To bring people in touch with other cultures..."
This is my latest project, working with the medical clinic in Vietnam. They receive 10% of the proceeds of the art sales of the Vietnam Series original (left). The photo on the right of the mother and baby is my newest. Native American Indians. This is a new piece, and I hope to show the lives of these peoples, uniting them in the love of their children.
