A Native American legend tells of a gifted weaver whose final creation—a magnificent burial blanket—so moved the Great Spirit that He scattered its vibrant colors across the land. From that blessing sprang the first blanket flowers (Gaillardia), a living tribute to the weaver’s generosity.
The story of the Blanket Flower reminds me that kindness and perseverance are essential to a meaningful life. When we help others, we discover the strength to face life’s challenges. And by staying the course, we can achieve what once seemed impossible.

A bee kept flying into my studio bothering me while I was painting. I shooed it away several times but it kept coming back. I followed it out the door and it landed in these hollyhocks growing alongside my studio gallery. I watched it buzz around in the flowers and realized that these tall majestic flowers are so hardy that they grow in the worst soil and conditions with little to no water. They showed me that something that seems impossible can be possible and beautiful. Do you see the bee?

Pareidolia is the human ability to see shapes or make images out of randomness. Painted during a drought, this picture brings rain from the clouds to refresh the land and animals that inhabit it. I imagined wild horses running down a river after a long awaited rain storm. And when I looked up at the clouds I saw a baby angel. Do you see him?

On the border of Colorado and New Mexico, high in the mountains, is Lake Maloya. It is a favorite spot for bird watchers. Ospreys, Canada Geese, Bald Eagles, Grebes, Eagle Owls and Belted Kingfishers are just a few of the birds that can be spotted around the lake. Maloya is a form of music, song and dance. Here, at sunset, you see a silhouette of some of these beautiful feathered creatures singing to the lake and dancing in air against a colorful sky.

The cottonwood tree is sacred to many Native Americans, particularly in the Southwest. The Apache tribes considered cottonwood trees a symbol of the sun, and some northern Mexican tribes associated cottonwoods with the afterlife, using cottonwood boughs in funeral rituals. The landscape in New Mexico during the fall season comes alive with these beautiful symbols of the sun.

New Mexico is known as the Land of Enchantment for its scenic beauty and rich history. The state was named after the Aztec Valley of the Rio Grande River in Mexico – “Nuevo Mexico”. I love the stunning desert landscape and the changing colors of the rock formations throughout the day. This scene is just north of Abiquiu, New Mexico and the Ghost Ranch where famed artist Georgia O’Keeffe called home.

High up in the mountains of Cruces Basin Wilderness in Northern New Mexico is a group of lakes called Lagunitas where beauty abounds and the fish jump completely out of the water to catch their next meal.

This scene is where the Rio Grande winds through Rio Grande Gorge State Park between Taos and Santa Fe. The rock mesas in this area look like giant man-made castles or fortresses. This sunset reminded me of the natural beauty of New Mexico and the sacred symbol of the sun for the Zia people. Four is a sacred number of the Zia repeated in the points radiating from the circle representing the four aspects of the compass, the seasons, the periods of each day, the stages of life and the sacred aspects one must develop.
