Our Work

Our work is a brilliant masterpiece
The quality is exquisite and pristine
The talent undeniable 
It's the artisan, projecting our personal imagery

We admire the attention to detail
Some might suggest a gift from above
“The work” - our sacrifice
It's a true labor of love 

However; just beneath the surface
 Secret stories unfold
The work is about our life
Sublimated into beauty, to admire and behold

Some are intoxicated by the images
We romance and fantasize
We get lost in the work
Perhaps a rolling landscape, under a mid-century autumn sky

Beautiful works can arise from inescapable experiences
Pain can consume or inspire us to create
Don't forget, while we’re lost in the artisans work
  Congratulate the painter, not just his paint

Life is our canvas
We all paint with our unique imagery
A masterpiece of beauty and imperfections
Our work - a life story about you and me
