Mango Bear: Sabrina
Mango Bears are all about fun and whimsy. Festive colors and pigment that swishes and blends with a splash here and a swoosh there. Color for the fun of it. Color to make our eyes dance and melt away stress. Curious about Mango Bears?
MB Sabrina is currently visiting Anchorage under the attentive guardianship of Stephan Fine Arts Gallery.

Crane Sashay
I watch the sandhill crane stand on one leg,
her bill tucks into feathers to nap. She is a prehistoric yoga master.
But moments later there is a frenzy of feather fluffing.
Her twirl on broomstick legs surprises me.
She does the crane sashay.

Wings of Summer
Sandhill Cranes ride the wind currents to Alaska and find a cozy field to make a nest and raise their young. These powerful birds symbolize longevity, loyalty and fidelity. I painted their beautiful feathers swimming through the blue green waves of air currents on their magical journey. Magnificent birds.
They encourage me. I celebrate their arrival in Alaska.
Summer and cranes. Cranes and summer.

Cozy Ice Cave
“Cozy Ice Cave”
40″ x 30″ 3000.
Who would have thought ice could make a cozy place to sleep? All that fur and muscle and power contained and at rest.
She is half asleep. Eyelids doing pushups.
Each muscle releases.
She floats
above her arctic nest.
Adrift in furry warmth,
a secret cave of ice and snow.
Ocean salty aromas promise refreshment
but she is no longer listening.
