ART FOR THE PEACEFUL
In a world filled with turmoil
and corruption,
empire building and war,
it is up to each of us
to open our eyes
to the beauty around us,
so that our spirit and hearts
won't be irreparably broken.
We must see beauty and hope
so that we can do our best
to capture
that which inspires us.
Then each of us can go
out into the world,
fortified
to create
RIPPLES OF PEACE

Ninth Annual New Mexico Magazine Photo Contest Award.
Welcome to my website
also known as
Art for the Peaceful
1. The Southwest gallery is populated by images of old buildings, lonely churches, broken fences, petroglyphs and other weathered formations and eccentric creations only to be found in the Land of Enchantment and the neighboring states.
2. Homes and Sanctuary focuses on homes, churches and places of reflection and sanctuary.
3. The Nature gallery contains lush fields of flowers, seagulls flying skyward, cacti on the California coast , South western monuments,
and the richness of the flaura and fauna in my garden.
4. Josie's Beasties is a gallery celebrating the many beasties who have touched my life. It includes the Wanted Sweet Georgia Brown" series, a line of whimsical, irreverent and thought provoking images in which one little cowdoggie and her cowpokie friends explore the wild lands of northern New Mexico spouting thoughts and observations of real life 19th century cowgirls.
5.Cars and trucks deals with those old treasures that are often left behind to gather rust but never quite fade away.
6. The Power of Pink: containing images of Code Pink, Women for Peace.
