Pass it On.  The 12 Stages of LifeTM
12 Stages of LifeTM
A Picture can be Worth a Thousand Comforting Words
Most of us struggle every day, trying to understand what Life is dishing out.
Some of us try to put it all in perspective. Others of us can't seem to.

Oftentimes we need comfort. Inspiration to move on, take the next step. If we could
just put what we're going through into a larger perspective, we could make it through
this stage of life and move ahead. If we could only come to understand
that what we're going through is but one stage of many and that all the Stages of Life
have value. Even the bad ones.  They are all there to grow us.
They are all intertwined. Together, they have worth, meaning and inspiration.

We welcome you to take a closer look at the entire
12 Stages of LifeTM series showcased
on this website. These highly detailed graphite pencil drawings attempt to express the
human experience in 12 different images.  Each tells a story.
Each celebrates a different Stage of Life.  Of course, we all create our own unique
Stages.  Yours may be a little different.  Not everyone fits into the exact same mold.  
However, these 12 were chosen because they probably reflect the experiences of the
larger majority of people in North America.

There is a written commentary that accompanies each fine lithographic print. It tells
the story of the picture, pointing out details and hidden treasures in the drawing.
It also raises thoughtful questions. The 12 commentaries and drawings together
present a positive view of this journey we call Life that we hope you'll linger on.  For
convenience, they have been produced as a book, which you can find on our Store
page.  There, you can also book the Artist to come and speak to your group.

We invite you to use these 12 drawings to send FREE E-Cards to those you know.
Also, don't miss out on our Discussion Forum or inspirational Stories and Blogs either!
Check out both by using the Index Menu in the upper right corner of any page on this
site. We hope you find our FREE E-Cards, as well as the artwork and essays,
inspirational.
