A life-time of treasured challenges overcome are the inspiration for my writing, art and life itself. For more information, please see my art site - About the Artist, Articles, and Blog links. Thank you. Questions and comments are welcomed! Just published is my book "To Art or not to Art" (various insights from my life as artist) Nearly completed are the first three parts of my biography: "The Alpha Waits for no Man, "With Sails Unfurled" (France) and "Life Went South" (Mexico). In progress are the final three bio books. Coming soon: "Lorena's Cocina" (Mexican cooking), and two children's books: Thank you for your positive support as I bring these to fruition! "Selena Ballerina" and "Alexa's Amazing Adventures" are original, personalized books created around the personality of the children portrayed, examples of what I can create for you. All writing, photography and graphics in my books are my original creations, Please respect copyright!
