Who Are You?
These paintings are not about who I am. They are about who you are. When you look at the painting, you see your own mind - your stories, perceptions and memories. The painting is simply a mirror.

All life is like this.

Each person will see something different, like seeing shapes in clouds.

Look closely. What does your mirror say?

If you continue looking, you may see something else, something beyond the stories, perceptions and memories. 

What is that thing?

Now you're beginning to see the painting's essence. And, at the same time, your own essence. Interesting. These paintings are simply mirrors. What they reveal depends on how deeply you care to look.

Enjoy your journey.

Workshops, Zen Coaching, Zen Meditation

For a number of years artists coming to my shows had asked me if I would offer a workshop on Zen Brush painting. I decided to give it a try. But I wanted it to be much more than a typical painting workshop. And it was. I discovered that I enjoyed it as much as the students.

Then artists began asking me if I would teach individual lessons. That's how Zen Coaching began. I've been teaching meditation for many years, but including something as personal and intimate as Zen Brush meditation with students was a whole new concept for me.

Sometimes you let the universe tell you what you need to do. That usually works out best.

Each of these offerings will help you answer that critical question, "Who am I?"
