"Your profession is not what brings home your paycheck. Your profession is what you were put on earth to do...
With such passion and such intensity that it becomes spiritual in calling."~Vincent Van Gogh

Nature Painting Collage

A Walk In Nature
I enjoy painting and collage work so I thought,Why not combine them.
Creating "A Walk In Nature" was magical. Included are bits of moss and bark that my poodle Rosie helped me discover on our afternoon walks...

Destiny's Boundaries
In the wings of the Dove my spirit now soars
My eyes open wide no longer deprived
Content to rest here in peaceful embrace
Gliding toward sunset my dreams all revealed
Forever I see You… In Love's Melody
Humble and Honest our Souls reach new height
Knowing Love heals and paves Our life path
My Soul's gentle prayer… Love and Peace prevail

Afternoon Delight

That I Am
The morning dew to kiss the day,
a gentle summer's breeze...
The songbird’s melodies,
a rose for its perfumed embrace...
Just so you may know that I care.

I gift to you,
a smile to hold inside...
For when you’re feeling blue,
a reminder that I love...
Just so you know That I Am.

Cosmic Waltz

To Be in Balance
The vow of life To Be to share a sacred love
That gives purpose throughout eternity
Within the meadows of our soul
Our heart's sweet destiny
Life defines
Within
Rose Line
Our destiny begins
Reflecting in beauty all around
Hours spent on dreams that have no end
A life of peace where sacred love transcends

What is meant by Inspired, to Inspire, to be Inspirational?

Father John B. Wang

For me they have always meant to capture the wonder that is in each of us, and to give expression in our lives. It is when one's spiritual light shines fourth through a fuller, less guarded channel. It gives us creative freedom to put aside the ordinary so that we might become full of inspiration. To inspire someone is to be God/Creator's beloved light along our life path, wherever it may lead, bringing good into every circumstance.

This commissioned work of Father John B. Wang "Is inspired by a vision given to S. K. on August 27, 2002." Father Wang's request, that I paint this vision for him feels a great honor and my bringing it to light blessed me with joy and peace.

Eagle – Illumination, Spirit, Power, Creation

Wild and Free – I go my own way…

"Wild and Free – I go my own way" and "There Is Always Change" are watercolor paintings inspired by the lyrics family friend, Mark Geisler shared with me several weeks prior to my daughter, Heather's and my 2003 Camino de Santiago departure. The two poems "Wild and Free – I go my own way" and "I have wandered off course..." were inspired by my transition; after returning home from Spain.

“Wild and Free – I go my own way…”
The eagle rides the last wind of summer,
Gliding down the canyon, as autumn greets its call.
Blowing by the river, listening to its legends,
Whispered by the meadows where horses graze.
Seeing what autumn does to the leaves and butterflies,
Hearing ancient melodies and voices,
Of those who told of promises and those who told of lies.

A "Single Edition Print" of (Wild and Free) and (There is always Change) was donated to the Montana Wildlife Federation in Helena, Montana for their benefit Auction & Banquet to help efforts to preserve our Wildlife Heritage.

"There Is Always Change"

I have wandered off course…
Did I stray…
What is this place where I find myself
Is it at peace
With nothing left to chance

Do I dare attempt to
Wipe away my past
Savor this moment
loving ME more
like a melody, I'm a part

Am I complete
Veiled so pleasingly
Inspired with loveliness
Cruelty and the Universe
star filled moon lit nights

Angels imprinted YOU
Into my Soul eons ago
Countless memories left unshared
Lonely tear drops fall…

I call your name…
