The Donkey can be a symbol of stubbornness.  These two characters are trying to force their will on Donkey. The end result: No one makes progress. We must be willing to work with one another in order to move forward in a win-win situation

This piece (peace) was created for a show I had just two months after 9/11. I used Kokopelli's magical power to send a message for PEACE. The hand with spiral is the human aspect that shares the common bond of the SOUL.

This large piece has all the symbols of Family. The main character, recruited for the job of Protecting, is none other than the man with the shield from Facing Our Fears. He stands firm to face whatever challenge may rise in order to insure the protection of his Family. This peace hangs in my home.

This symbolizes the lessons found at the 4 directions of the Medicine wheel; Wisdom in the north with Buffalo, Childhood spirit in the south with coyote, Enlightenment in the east with Eagle and "Going within" for discernment in the west cave of the bear. The message here is not to get stuck in any of these for too long. Keep the wheel of Life turning to maintain a healthy Balance. 

Who doesn't need someone to listen? I created this for a therapist piece.  PEACE can be FOUND here.

Traveling the currents of life. A turtle symbolizes “ self sufficiency.” This turtle displays confidence on his journey with everything he needs with him. A popular piece for graduates.

  I made this for a talented young woman who works in a demanding office. I chose a word that befitted her.

SAVVY

This includes two words; first is what this young lady's father used to call her and the second, her profession.
