Divine Romance | New Work

12/29/2021

​"Buy a piece of art. Find one that speaks to you and make the purchase. If it’s a genuine artistic production, it will invade your life and change it. A real piece of art is a window into the transcendent, and you need that in your life, because you are finite and limited and bound by your ignorance. Unless you can make a connection to the transcendent, you will not have the strength to prevail when the challenges of life become daunting. You need to establish a link with what is beyond you, like a man overboard in high seas requires a life preserver, and the invitation of beauty in your life is one means by which that may be accomplished."

Jordan B. Peterson

What will you choose to put on your plate? There are many considerations, but your choices will depend largely on 3 things:

Shadow Work

Shadow Work involves getting in touch with the parts of yourself that you've repressed — or what some might refer to as their "dark side." When you dive into the unconscious material which shapes your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, you allow for the expression of a fuller, more authentic version of yourself.

Commissioned Painting, Park City, UT

12/8/2021

 
Picture
​The Start of Something New: Large-Scale Commissioned Painting for clients in Park City, Utah. I approach my canvas the same way as I approach my yoga mat: by setting an intention. My intention is to create a painting that will be a vehicle for: Abundance, Beauty, Celebration, Health & Healing, Inspiration & Love. Although these written mantras will eventually get covered up with layers of paint and texture, it is my belief that these intentions will still be felt by the viewer.
