INSPIREFLIES

In 2004, I created a limited run of tiny butterfly paintings (2 1/8 “ x 3 1/4”) with words of inspiration integrated into the works. As the title suggests, these 150 miniature works were made to inspire—to influence, guide, spur on, and infuse with life. They were sold throughout the country in Artomat vending machines. Below is a small sampling of these acrylic paintings on wood. Who knows, perhaps I'll be inspired to make some more again soon.
