"Every artist dips her brush in her soul and paints her nature on her canvas.”
Artist Statement
HOW DO I ELEVATE MY CONSCIOUSNESS?
HOW DO I TRANSMUTE SADNESS, SORROW AND A DARK SENSE OF NOT BELONGING HERE, INTO COLOR, LIGHTNESS AND JOY?
These are the questions I asked myself as I explored the inner mysteries....
Dipping into cosmic consciousness with my brush and canvas to open portals and gateways of possibility, I use intentional creativity as a pathway for transformational healing, empowerment and reclamation of the lost fragments of my childhood and youth.
I am always looking for the beauty in the marginalized and the underdog; finding ways to take something ugly and make it beautiful. Whether it’s taking an old a worn out piece of furniture and refinishing it, redoing a kitchen or refurbishing an old travel trunk with new and pretty Japanese washi-paper, my drive is to bring life back to something that is worn out and needs new energy breathed into it.
It’s all about reclamation, resurrection and empowerment.
My paintings are a call for connecting to our inner wisdom and divine source; along with re-connecting to nature. Alchemizing our wounds and tragedies into healing medicine for myself and others. Through tears of sadness, come illumination, joy and gratitude for this fragile human condition. Without tears there can be no rainbow.
I draw my inspiration from nature, mythology, shamanism, the divine feminine archetypes, dragons, birds, rich vibrant colors. I go treasure hunting for pattern, symbols and soul language via inquiry, visioning, journaling, reflection and direct downloads from the cosmos.
As a newly established working artist and Intentional Creativity Teacher, it is my hope that my paintings inspire others to pick up a paintbrush, a canvas, and enter the mystical adventure of intentional creativity as a guided pathway to accessing their inner wisdom, and experiencing the joy of self expressing freely - without criticism or judgement.
I want people to know how quickly things can turn around in ones life when we dare to intentional create - by design instead of by default. How we have so many visible and invisible angelic beings here to support us and help us bring our dreams into form.
I have long practiced a meditation that assists me in reconnecting to divine source and tapping into the universal sound stream. I find that Intentional Creativity process very similar in that I become fully present and fully alive in the moment. There is a deep bliss that comes from both practices.
I want you to know that all we need to do is ask for help! Even if you’ve never painted before, when you pick up a paintbrush magic can truly happen! We only need be open to the possibility of change. And to know that we are all creative beings, we are all artists! We all can access our inner wisdom and divine source through a myriad of ways - whether it’s through painting, dance, chanting, singing, meditative or yogic practices there is always a way to access this special place. And to know that you are loved beyond measure. You are enough!! You are Beautiful!! And YOU matter!!!
