Upcoming shows and events
I took some time off last summer to concentrate on the healing arts and to recharge. I am also writing on my second book, a sequel to The Magical Horses, and am halfway finished. In planning is a series, taking the whole aspect of healing in perspective, and of course more landscapes.

Some shows are already firm, but I am working on more, so stay in touch ...
