Years ago at a gallery crawl, I met an incredible woman. Tiny, with sparkling eyes and a quick wit, she enchanted me. I didn't know her and she didn't know me. And yet our creative spirits called out to each other and then ran off to play together like lifelong friends. I believe this book was born in that first magical meeting when the universe winked at us.
Our lives are separated by miles of highway and disparate stages, and still we found a way to play. Our canvas was Facebook, which we painted with pictures and words at odd hours and on staggered days. I'd post a painting, then she would post a haiku to illustrate the painting. And one of those little masterpieces moved me so much - it became my creative mantra and the perfect introduction to my art:
Here's the blue wild, where
tiny dreamers ride beasts, speak
bird-song, hold the moon
Between these pages lie thirty-three paintings and their poetic illustrations. A wild outpouring of exuberance blended with a little philosophy and a nudge- nudge wink- wink of humor. It is what happens when creative spirits meld and inner children come out to play. We are tickled. We are delighted. We hope you will be, too.
