When I discovered Aboriginal art during a visit to Australia, I was captivated by the trails of color across canvas.
My tracks have a beginning and an end.


The color dots have a story line and every painting is different...and every painting tells a different story.
I hope you as the viewer enjoy the visual adventure.
