Drawing ink and pencil on Bristel Board - I love drawing Greek gods. This is Hekate, Lady of Torches.
Drawing - Deaths Song
Drawing pencil on paper - This was inspired by a dream I had of a friend while in school. I dreamed she passed away. She was a ghostly image in the wind while death played such a sweet longing song that was the music of her soul. A few months later she passed away.

Oil - Windows to the Soul
Oil on canvas - This is painting was inspired but the cliche "Eyes are the windows to the soul." I wanted to depict the image of a person who's body looked nature while the soul was withering and dying.
Oil - Spirit of the Forest
Oil on mason board - This was my first painting on mason board. I rather like the smooth firm surface you get with using it. This image was to depict how I see the spirit of the forest.

Digital - Demeter Druid
Digital - Again this is a variation on the Druid sigil. This is much more specific within the Hellenic culture as it is geared towards those who are dedicated to Demeter and her teachings. I am works to get this design on pendants as well for those that belong to DEO (Demeter and Eleusinian Order, ADF).
Digital - Hellenic Druid
Digital - This is a Druid sigil that I designed for those who follow the Hellenic hearth culture. The design is to help create a more cultural specific symbol that shows the Druid back ground as well as the individual hearth culture followed by the individual. I am working to put this design on pendants.
Pyrography - Hekate
Pyrography on wood - This image is of Hekate, the goddess of cross roads and magic. I honor Hekate on a regular basis so this image is great for an altar piece.
Pyrography - Demeter
Pyrography on wood - This is an image of Demeter which was inspired by a gourd vase a friend of mine did for me. As Devotee of Demeter this image is very meaningful to me.
