“Celebration” 48″ x 48″ diptych oil and metal leaf on canvas – $6,000
I have always known of the uplifting effects of painting several hours a day, but in recent years I have become even more aware of the positive effects of the practice.

Most recently, I learned of a new book published that scientifically proves our beliefs about the positive and healing effects of art. “Your Brain on Art” by Susan Magsamen and Ivy Ross explains how “the science of neuroaesthetics offers proof of how our brains and bodies transform when we participate in the arts and how this knowledge can improve our health….”
“Shimmering Wisteria” 36″ x 48″ oil and metal leaf on canvas – $4,700 (This painting is on the cover of the 2024 Pomegranate calendar of my work)
This book is fascinating reading and exhilarating to see how my daily activities have been quietly keeping me healthy, particularly since the pandemic and isolation. It has been obvious to me from news reports that many more people are agitated, angry and acting out in destructive behavior. I hope that at least some of them will read this book and benefit from it’s positive messages.
