About Me

I like to think of myself as quite a spiritual person, I believe that my front door should always remain open. If any of my friends were in difficulty they would have only to ask and I would be there for them.I have a strong affinity with the People of Turtle Island (Native Americans) and look as deeply as I can into their culture and anthropology. I find that the way they governed their lives held a lot of truths that the world has put to one side and forgotten.I am an animist, which is to say I have similar beliefs to the Native peoples of the world. These beliefs for example, would include the primary tenet that ALL life is sacred, a strongly developed concept of honor, justice and truth. Actually I like the concept of developing wisdom for the benefit of all.Most of my art is too big to scan, so unfortunately my best stuff isn't in my pics. I use a PC to do most of the preliminary work on them then convert to canvas.background Layout made bycursor

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I would like to have had the opportunity to meet Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce tribe, Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse of the Lakota (Sioux), as well as Geronimo of the Apache.The reason that I would like to meet these people is because they were awesome examples of honor and paradigms of the four cardinal virtues.Oh... and open minded people, who can hold a conversation longer than two sentences.

Food for thought: Anciant wisdom

Only after the last river has been polluted, Only after the last fish has been caught & the last animal slain. Only then will you find out that money can't be eaten.
