Tranquility and occupation

acrylic, 16''x20''

"It is neither wealth nor splendor, 

but tranquility and occupation which give you happiness." 

-T. Jefferson

Dedicated to the UIC MSOT Class of 2014, 

as we dig our roots into soils near and far

during our first fieldwork this summer.

Depth and breadth come with 

tending, nourishment, light, and time.

We entrust ourselves to this growth!   

Vic and Ali's Wedding

 Quaker Wedding Certificate 

watercolor and ink, 16"x20"

Victoria and Ali were married in a beautiful ceremony in Minnesota.  They chose an image of sunrise for their wedding certificate, and a merging of bands as fit the occasion.  The left side contains portions of the vows they had written for each other and not heard until the wedding day.  Guests signed the right side after the ceremony, identifying themselves as witnesses of the union.

May you take care of each other and love each other, passionately and always!
