My Goal is to open up an art gallery with the proceeds going to benefit homeless shelters in the Atlanta area. I know what is is like to be homeless, I have been there as a child and an adult. I want to break the cycle and I have and I want to help others to break that cycle. Please, everyone, pass this word along. I want to do as much as I can to help end homelessness. Right now, I have artwork up for sale on my personal website. Each piece is an original and the only copy. Each sale will go to benefit my goal. I encourage you to stop by and check it out.

An Artist still Searching
This is an autobiography about myself and my gifts of writing and painting and photography. This is what I have been through and still am going through. This is my life as it has happened and is happening. This is the why I am the way I am, feel the way I feel, and live the way I live.

  Daughter of Elidon
She walked quietly; her long red hair turned copper in the setting sun. She walked east toward the darkness and the woods-- those woods that no one dared go in especially at night. The chill in the wind was biting. Nevan pulled her long cloak around her and stopped where the path suddenly disappeared. She knew this trail by heart. The trail went on into the woods and forked.

  Nevan's Birthright (Sequel to Daughter of Elidon)
In the moonlight, Nevan saw Benaiah. He was tall. She saw dark hair and a smile, but that was all. "Nevan?" "Yes, I am Nevan," Benaiah, Nevan, wont you both join the banquet?" Salali asked, "I will. I just needed some air," Nevan told the woman. "As did I," Benaiah spoke. He had such a beautiful voice, Nevan thought. She wanted to get a closer look at him.

Last Wish

Last Wish

I see you looking at
Me on the sly
I see the look in your eyes
Yet you hold yourself
Back from all possibility
Afraid of experiencing
Emotion
Fearful of falling for me
But you already have
Still in denial
So I will go on my way
Remember your smile
Cherish our talks
Learn from our fights
That you are who you are
You are you without
Shame
I accept fate as it comes
Though I go away
And may never see you again
I will remember
That look in your eyes
As our gazes locked for
A split second
Captured by time and memory
By mine and yours
All I have of you now
Memories
I smile one last smile at you
Blow one last kiss
Stare one last time
And wish one last wish
That you were mine

The Emerald Isle

Johnna Crider in Johnna Crider's Blog
Tuesday 28 of December, 2004
Arienh ached to be loved
To be held and touched.
Patiently waiting for
That moment when she
Would see the same love
In her lovers eyes.

Still silence is her only friend
Still she waits for that pure live
That the old ones say is gone.

The Druid Caolán saw her.
His ancient power is unyielding
And knew that love was only a legend
To be reborn that day.

Late that night
He saw Arienh walking
Beneath the moon oer the ocean
Its light danced off her golden hair.

Her sweet smile and
Emerald eyes
Filled with hope
As they met.

The druid summoned
All his strength and power
To create a
Token of his love

The gold locks of Arienhs hair
In a golden circle weaving around
Rare emeralds
The color of her eyes.

"Mi cé sibh beatha"
He cried out making the ring
In gemstones he created
With power and love in a ring
Caolán gave to her the Emerald Isle
