About Me

..~~~*Portfolio Slideshow*~~~..


..


"Those who refuse to listen to dragons are probably doomed to spend their lives acting out the nightmares of politicians. We like to think we live in daylight, but half the world is always dark; and fantasy, like poetry, speaks the language of the night." ~Ursula Le Guin
Unicorn Sculpture for my mom :)
"The unicorn lived in a lilac wood, and she lived all alone. She was very old, though she did not know it, and she was no longer the careless color of sea foam, but rather the color of snow falling on a moonlit night...
She did not look anything like a horned horse, as unicorns are often pictured, being smaller and cloven-hoofed...Her neck was long and slender, making her head seem smaller than it was, and the mane that fell almost to the middle of her back was as soft as dandelion fluff and as fine as cirrus. She had pointed ears and thin legs, with feathers of white hair at the ankles; and the long horn above her eyes shone and shivered with its own seashell light even in the deepest midnight."
~The opening words of The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle
"The craft of questions, the craft of stories, the craft of the hands - all these are the making of something, and that something is soul. Anytime we feed soul, it guarantees increase."
~Clarissa Pinkola Estes
This is the beautiful Kelly Abbass modeling my Butterfly Mask (photo by Marc Thomas). Kelly isn't simply just a pretty face and a great model, she's also an amazing singer and a very sweet soul. Clicking the image above will take you to her new Fine Art & Pin-up site!
