Peg made MOVE!. Steve bought MOVE! I am a genius. Peg is UNIQUE! nspell it any way you want. When an artist finds a voice, their voice, her voice, it is nearly a miracle. MOVE! lives in our house. nIt does not take up space. It does not match the couch. It is alive. If you don't believe it, come over. Better yet, buy one before she runs out and the prices soar. The power of the piece nis in its subtlety and its unique creation. How exciting for Peg. nEven more exciting for me. I am stone cold staring at it right now knowing how lucky i am. It is really hard to focus on good words to describe the piece. There really are no good words for powerful pieces except HOLYSHIT! OMG/WTF!! i am standing before nthe work of a great artist.......simple. love, steve

Inspiration

As an artist/gardener/poet, I find my inspiration in all the wonderful plants, fish and birds that live in my large garden here at Rosepark, my country home in the heartland.

I have found that nature tends to repeat shapes and designs, circles, ovals, stripes, etc... When I create my original folk art nature prints, I use the leaves, fruits and flowers of the plants around me to capture these shapes in birds, fish, and other designs.
I use permanent inks to hand print the designs. I then add some freehand drawing using pen and ink, and sometimes colored pencils or watercolors. I then up load the designs to my computer to paint from 'underneath'. This allows me to paint the designs without losing the wonderful detail of the nature print.

There are many steps in creating my original art, but the end result is colorful, fun folk art that is primitive, but not childish.
I like to think of it as folk art with flare!
