We love our stories and our treasures, as well as heroes larger than life.  In the language of our stories and art, serpents often take on the role of guardians.  They receive this task because of their tendency to lash out when cornered, instead of fleeing.  So, they are depicted here guarding a Greek vase design, lying among some reeds and white fabric, as well as some ivy leaves for a splash of color.
The paper it is painted on is made especially for oil painting and some I bought from a reputable dealer in Florence, Italy.  I recommend that the painting be mounted on acid-free foam core and framed as you wish.  
She ships from Florence, Italy.
Enjoy and thank you for viewing my art!

I am interested in why we do what we do and how thoughts progress. Since I was a child, I watched and touched and listened, trying to make sense of things. It was easy to feel the sadness of life, but also the yin and yang. So, I work to put beauty in front of us. I have been told that my work is “all over the map” but in my mind, everything is connected. I hope you enjoy your visit and will be enticed to view more of my work and writings. Thank you.
