​THEN and NOW​​
In 1997, I created Love Paintings, an artwork created as a gift of love available for purchase. Love Paintings reflect love, compassion, and goodwill.

Angel funding first provided me with start-up money to expand. Love Paintings took off. For four years I engaged with the gift and collectible industry experts, art directors, and copyrighters. I sold the project to galleries, hospitals, charities, vendors, gift-givers, art collectors, and celebrities. By 2001 I felt that the goals of the project were met. 

Love Paintings were put on hiatus.

Now, some 20 years later the world is in the midst of a crisis, and love is needed more than ever.

We welcome the revival of the Love Paintings project with open hearts.
