Lori is a talented wildlife artist I think many aspiring painters can learn from, her work depicts nature in a gentle, beautiful, and magical way.

Leave a comment

Here is a new poetry collection from Arianna and I. It contains poems and art from the both of us, including art works we collaborated on. This first “Rainbow” titled poetry collection is the first installment of a colorful series, so if you like the art from this book, there is more to come! I have so far compiled three books for this series, but for now, enjoy “Thinking In Rainbows”.

“Mountains” – Music By Arianna

3 Comments

Arianna: In the recent years I have been very inspired by Celtic and other forms of traditional music, and this song came about after re-stringing a zither we obtained last year. Upon playing, it simply flowed out. I call it ‘Mountains’, because that’s what the song felt like to me (I think the echoes enhance that feeling). Kai said it made her think of unicorns, and I added that to the companion art. So please enjoy this musical piece, and know there will be more to come. And because it has no real lyrics in it, I would be very intrigued to hear what you hear or interpret within this song as well!

Here Be LifeDownload

We are meant to be in a relationship with Mother Nature, and even when we are not, life still goes on. No matter where you are in the world, even if in the midst of a city, take a moment to “see”.

A single tree, a single bird, even a single flower, can still remind us that life is always here, and always will be.
