CrindelStar already has a growing following based on Gigi’s imaginative stories. I’m very excited to be involved with this unique project and working with Gigi is amazing! Lots of fun.

CrindelStar is an inspirational story about a young girl, Maria, who is facing peer pressure from her classmates to abandon believing in her precious unicorns. We learn through Maria’s encounter with a mystical creature, CrindelStar, that what she believes of herself creates the foundation of what she might ultimately contribute to the world through her life’s purpose and gift.

CrindelStar arrives to rescue Maria from her despair, however, through Maria’s compassion, honesty, and personal courage CrindelStar is saved as well !

Life lessons are gently crafted throughout the story of CrindelStar. Beneath this mystical tale is a universal truth embracing all cultures, children and adults, a message of inspiration and courage to cherish our uniqueness. Maria is choosing to give up, giving in, she loses sight of her personal identity, which is the great tragedy CrindelStar arrives to avert. In the end, Maria embraces the joy of her individuality and is committed to live her life as an example to others.

CrindelStar is a personally empowering message from the future, a reminder of how vital today’s choices can be, that we can affect our future by choosing the Hero’s Journey – a reminder that we each contribute our one-of-a-kind precious ingredient to the beauty of our planet’s tapestry.

Along with the book, there are several other “top secret” projects involving CrindelStar that I can’t announce yet, but it is some REALLY cool stuff.

I just finished the first conceptual illustration for the character and have posted it in my portfolio. Be sure to check it out!

My painting/illustration “Tribute to Steve Jobs” was painted on the day the news of his passing was made public.

Like many fellow artists and creative folks from all over the world, I created this piece of art as my way of showing my admiration and appreciation for the contributions Steve Jobs brought to this world. My portrait of Jobs depicts his journey through this world from an idealistic young man set on “changing the world” to becoming the black turtleneck, jeans, and sneaker wearing pop icon of his later years.
