An Innocent Chat


I feel like a Luddite at heart

dealing with ChatGpt, a force multiplier

that has tickled me with some of the

ninja chess moves I have asked mine to.

So after exposure to some induced Chat counterintuition.

I woke early and broke its brain

describing Dark Innocence,

a Dark Feminine RESONANCE embodying innocence of dove and wisdom of serpent

in a MASSIVE energetic presence.

Despite the reams of words meant to be written kinda like me,

the way I AM doesn’t fit attempts to Chat it.

This Dark Innocence defies classification and demands discovery

through the EVOKING of memory, the FEEL of senses, and the ACT of writing,

unfolding the history and mystery in ‘analog’ mode (sounds of sharpening a No. 2 Ticonderoga pencil in black.)

Pleased to Meeting You!



As a small business photographer, I see people working together to provide the best experiences their own businesses can offer. All the time.

My special skill is in capturing the brief, but beautiful moments of interactions, outreach, networking and personal celebrations with better than normal portraits with the participants of your distinctive event.

This good feeling image, taken during the networking of the Northside Networking Group, captures their natural, engaging images for social media needs.

Shower of Power



The pieces of glass that clad this building

show their secrets of refraction when the light is just right.

I see person after person walk by,

deep in their thoughts and phones, 

unaware they are travelling through a shower of rainbows.

Genesis



Your world

is being created

every moment

through HOW YOU SPEAK OF IT

to others –

but especially to yourSELF.

Finding A Something More

Funny how some normal-looking photographs

offer the potential of being something more.

My daughter sent me a long-distance snapshot

of my grand-son playing with his dad.  

I can’t get enough pictures of my little guy, 

exploring his new world with a toddler’s beautiful curiosity.



Something about this image attracted me.

I take another look and let my subconscious see it, too.  

(It helps to relax or fuzz the eyes so you are not focusing on detail.)

If I get a ‘alerting’ feeling about it: almost like an antenna picking up a signal,

it means my eyes are noticing a new pattern or a new image there;

seeing the potential of a new composition deep in the center of the photograph.

Like all real, beautiful things, it has been there all the time.

Heart of the Matter


Beauty in things exists in the mind

which seeks to see it.

Even a clove of garlic.

One Inspired Evening – One Moment in Time


I like to refresh the palate with photos I enjoyed taking years ago.

This revisit was an annual benefit for the Inspiration Corporation called One Inspired Evening. Their benefit art auction is the best local art social of the year.

To Your Health

My personal portraits focus on enjoyment & contemplation.

To that end, I remove canes, walkers, and aids for standing in the final framed portrait.

It is not a denial of their current age or health situation,

but a focus on a personal image that celebrates

a life-affirming vision of wholeness.

Always to your health, Dorothy

Knowledge is Golden


Professional artists love the opportunity for a ‘hands-on’ workshop with Sean Michael Felix, one of the best gold sign artists in the Midwest and the US.

Everyone’s creativity was enhanced by the beautiful setting and free flow of information: an urban ‘artist’s retreat’ experience.

Even the cats played their part to bring an ultra-relaxed vibe into the space.

These artisans in glass, tattooing, custom finishing, and sign-making come here to play, take these techniques to their businesses, and make them their own.

It feels great to be able to impart such knowledge and create artwork that adds much-needed beauty to this world.

Reach out to have a real artist experience. Feed your soul by creating something beautiful!
