The Mermaid & the ti'at paddler

One day while out paddling off the coast of Pimu (Catalina Island), a paddler notices a shining glittering  light from below the depths of the sea. He captures a glimpse of a mermaid holding what seems to be a glowing pearl...a symbol for Mother Earth. She has come to warn him that the humans have so polluted the earth and its oceans that the situation now threatens all life. Will he take the message back to the earth people and spread the message of how to remember to be a human being and respect all LIFE on the earth and sea????.........more to come.

This is dedicated to Olivia Chumacero who was the inspiration for this piece and the story!

The Ascention of Tovet

This was my final project for my Photoshop II class with Amy Caterina at Santa Ana College. He is a tovet, an eagle dancer rising above the modern day city of Los Angeles, built upon the sacred foundation of the ancient community "village" of Yaanga, one of my ancestral village communities. Above him is the spirit of the Golden Eagle, 'Ashaawt, whose feathers symbolize fertility, and the everlasting existence of Spirit.
