New Paintings | Spring 2022

3/13/2022

When an artist paints in alignment with Source Consciousness, mere objects become eleaved and take on a sacred quality. A painting done in this manner becomes a protective talisman and an incantation for a richer, more abundant life. 

New Paintings | Exploring Positive Affirmations 

I Am Bold. I Am Brave. I Am Strong. I Am Courageous. I Am Leading with My Heart. I Am Intentional. Everyday I Feel My Purpose. I Am Living With Happiness. I Am Resonating At A High Frequency. I Am Brilliant. I Am Allowing Myself To Be Me. I Am Open To My Greatness.

In-Spirit: Painting w/Cremation Ashes

3/3/2022

 
Picture
How do you share a sacred experience without running the risk of bastardizing it? ​Describing my recent experience for a commissioned painting with cremains (cremated human remains) feels a lot like trying to describe a dream. For the dreamer, the dream is ALIVE. But when the morning comes, the very act of verbalizing the dream makes it seem flatter, limited in depth and scope to the listener. It is my sincere hope that this is not the case.

Memorial Painting

3/2/2022

Sometimes the work chooses you. My latest commission painting was a life altering experience: Painting with cremated human remains. 

The coincidences had been stacking for years: My reputation for using unusual texture-making materials caused many people to ask me if I had ever thought about infusing cremains (cremated human remains) into my paintings. The honest answer? Yes! But I was afraid of potentially inviting “ill-tempered, disembodied guests” into my life.

When a dear friend recently asked me to create a Memorial Painting for her deceased husband, I felt with my entire body & soul that this was exactly the work I was meant to do: to be a gentle guide through the transitional time of death.

The fear is gone. I have stepped over the threshold into a new frontier that feels comfortable, natural & right to me. I am in reverence & in awe. This is what it's like to feel on PURPOSE.

    This blog was created to share my belief that the art-making process is a catalyst for transformation and personal empowerment. I am living proof.
