I paint classic children's literature; why?  Because it gives me things I can not find in everyday life.  So I paint these stories in oil over much-loved vintage storybook pages.  In these paintings, I see a tolerance towards eccentricity, acceptance of others, magic in the ordinary, and escape into a world where anything is possible.  I paint these tales to bring these messages to others, see the truth about the world and human nature more clearly, and keep the stories alive. 
I am a believer in manifesting dreams and designing a better life.  These tales are potent tools to feed the imagination and see possibilities in our lives.  Inspiration, small steps, and "Dreams Do Come True."
