On two occasions I have created paintings for people who are grieving the loss of someone who has passed away.  The process has been so intensely healing, unexpected and revelatory that I consider painting these works a precious gift.  The culmination is a keepsake that chronicles life and love. It is an intimate and inclusive voyage that is experienced as a life-affirming co-creation between me, you and the loved one who left this mortal coil.  It is both a psychic and extraordinary experience best explained by the stories below.
