These imaginary creations of mine are from a place within me. They come off the pen and appear on the page. I do not recall drawing or planning any of them. The pen did the work and I was just as surprised as you are now, when I saw the pictures. I can talk about them as if someone else drew them because I did not plan them. My inner child was surely the young artist creator who drew these creatures.

I have been in touch with my inner child for many years. She is alive and well and happy, living with me and playing in my yard. It took us a long time, with lots of hard work to find each other. I was able to "carry" her out of my worst times, to the safe haven of my later years, where she is free, happy, cared for and fed the wholesome food of the good life. She dances happily amid nature's wonders.

She has always loved to run full steam ahead to examine life and enjoy what she discovers. Our joy for life is reflected in my art work.
