<div>We are at a beginning. Which means we are also at an end.</div>
<div>New technologies, new hope, new challenges. Can we let go of our past assumptions, our most negative thoughts, our feelings of discomfort and allusion.</div>
<div>I never face a blank canvas. Everything around me calls for art. What do I create next, where do I start, when will inspiration manifest. I simply go with it.</div>
<div>The rose represents this moment of time to me. A hope for a better future. But essentially this moment is experienced by all of us. I’m confident we will choose boldly. After all, we are blossoming, growing and searching for a better way.</div>

<p>Our inherent and overwhelming desire to be free. Our passion and instinct to explore. We are born with an insatiable curiosity and from our first step to our last breath life is a constant leap of faith. So plunge in. Ignore the naysayers and go for it. With everything you have…</p>
<p>Dedication: “Living” is a painting of my dear friend Graham Johnston. Graham died in July of 2019 at the age of 88. He was my dear friend. In the moment of my greatest need and when my world was crumbling, he was there for me. He was always there for me. Graham was an Olympian (Helsinki 1952), a world record holder in the Masters Swimming program and an inductee into the International Masters Swimming Hall of Fame. He was also so much more. A true friend who loved life, Graham took a bold and giant leap of faith every day. He loved life. I miss you Graham. Rest In Peace.</p>

<p>Swimming rejuvenates me. It restores my essence, invigorates my soul. As I pull smoothly through the water I exchange cacophony for calm; the turbulence of everyday life is transformed. I swim hard, rewarded with a quiet mind and a connection to like-minded strangers who become lifelong friends. Swimmers bond, water is a way of life, our source of joy.</p>
<p>Dedication: When I look at my painting titled Swimming I think of my friend Taryn. It is actually a painting of her. Great friendships are impossible to define. Words simply aren’t equal to the task, and in the end actions always speak loudest.</p>
