Perhaps you've landed here after coming across one of my images out in the world. Maybe you saw one on the wall of a gallery. I hope it made you curious. I hope you want to see more. Welcome.

“I OFFER THIS TO YOU IN CASE YOUR HEART IS HURTING.” This time I place a card in plain sight because love need not be hidden away. We all could use a boost to reconnect in times when hate has taken center stage. Keep love alive. It may b
“REMEMBER TO TAKE IN THE BEAUTY OF THE SIMPLE MOMENTS.” Many of us are feeling the pain of challenging times, overwhelmed by divisiveness. Anger and fear. The emotions are real, justified. It saddens me that our primary communication m
LISTEN If you could speak tree, what would you hear the forest say? Or the trees that line walkways and roadways? Do our impatient horn honks awaken them from deep sleep labeling us bad neighbors? Do they gossip about our comings and goings, complai
A car crash, an encounter with fresh love an instant can change everything. But what about the moments that float around us like little dust particles only seen when aligned with the perfect beam of light? #iholdthismoment #wordsandimages #publicart
“LEFT BEHIND” ‘Staples and the stories they tell. Each missing dog. Each yard sale. Each home for rent. Dreams for jobs. Pleas. Desires. Hopes. Signs fade, beaten by rain and sun, ripped down by officers of the law. Ghosts of need r
“THIS MOMENT OF BEAUTY WAS LEFT HERE JUST FOR YOU. REALLY. IT WAS.” So often we race past simple things (that maybe aren’t really so simple; is the magic of a flower ‘simple’?). What if we all slowed down and did more n
SHOUTS & WHISPERS “I used to shout to the world when what I really wanted was to whisper into an ear beside me.” A piece from oh so long ago. The shouting is long gone unless one counts dribbling little nuggets of words into the un
“LOVE CAN BE FOUND IN THE MOST SURPRISING MOMENTS.” Are you paying attention? I love placing cards in public places as I try to imagine how a recipient feels when they stumble across one. Do they imagine the message is for them? [swipe
“FIND YOUR TRANQUILITY” We all have that special arena that sends us to calm. Have you found yours? [swipe thru to find this card] #iholdthismoment #wordsandimages #publicart #minicards #foundbutnotlost #artcards #veganartist #photogra
“EVERY FOOTSTEP HAS A STORY” What is your story? Placing cards in the world. Swipe thru to see where you might find this little gift. #iholdthismoment #wordsandimages #publicart #postcards #vromans #foundbutnotlost #artcards #veganart
“IF WE IMAGINE CLOUDS AS THOUGHT BUBBLES, WHAT WOULD YOURS BE SAYING?” We all have a lot floating around in our heads that we never express. Do you let people know you? Do I? #private #iholdthismoment #wordsandimages #publicart #foundbu
“I WALK THROUGH LIFE LOOKING FOR HEARTS, NOTICING HEARTS, TO INFUSE MY DAY WITH LITTLE DROPS OF LOVE. I INVITE YOU TO JOIN ME.” This has been a practice of mine for several years now. I didn’t invent it. I don’t remember wha
“MAY THIS SERVE AS YOUR INVITATION TO LOOK FOR LOVE WHEREVER YOU GO.” We rush past it, you know. Daily. An offering of love, looking for a different offering of love. Looking for the love we think we need, think we want, ignoring the swe
“THE BEAUTY OF BEING ABLE TO SOAR ABOVE THE WORLD AND TO REFLELT ON EVERYTHING THAT IS AMAZING.” To appreciate is a gift to self, a gift to others. It’s so easy to fall into despair when the world isn’t spinning the way we h
“CRISSCROSSING FOOTPRINTS. INTERSECTING LIVES. HOPES AND DREAMS COLLIDING. THE CRAZINESS THAT WE SHARE THE EARTH AT THIS PRECISE MOMENT. MAY EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US SLOW DOWN AND REMEMBER TO ENGAGiE ONE ANOTHER WITH KINDNESS. IT’S THE LE
“THE WAY YOU SPREAD LOVE MATTERS. THE WAY YOU RECEIVE LOVE MATTERS. THE WORLD NEEDS YOU.” [scroll thru to see the image, words, and where the card was left] We are all being challenged to varying degrees by existence and life itself. We
“I keep thinking I am the caterpillar waiting to transform. But what if I am already the butterfly waiting to fly?” We may all be butterflies. #iholdthismoment #wordsandimages #publicart #artcards #veganartist #atwatervillage #butterfl
“I imagine a world without locks, without blockades. A world where we do not believe in enemies.” [sorry the text isn’t more visible in the photo] I created this card a decade ago while wandering streets in Italy for an artist res
“LOVE IS LOOKING YOUR WAY. LOOK BACK.” It’s so easy to rush by love that seeks you. Pause, and take it in. It needs you as much as you need it. Adventuring in Bombay Beach. Roadtrips are good for the soul. Scroll through to see
“MAY YOU SEE YOURSELF THE WAY OTHERS SEE YOU” How often do we overlook our own magic, mercilessly criticize ourselves while seeing the goodness in others? #iholdthismoment #wordsandimages #publicart #minicards #airport #japan #foundbut
