The covers of the e-books that I have created on Amazon.com are from paintings. The story behind each and the books are very much a part of me.

My Journey into Art is a collection of artwork from 2012 to 2013, the creation of this collection comprised of , image and imagination, grief, sorrow and depression. The artwork for the cover I painted with acrylics and watercolors in 2012, all created from my need to fill the void created by the death of my daughter. This painting is a winter scene of my daughter standing by a frozen stream in a Wisconsin nature park, looking at an apple tree and a lone apple clinging to the security of the leafless tree. There is now a memory bench under this apple tree in her honor.
