Embracing the Spirit of the Land

5/16/2025

 
Picture
I love the wind. I love floating canvases on water, infusing the environment into my work as a tribute to the sacred land we stand upon.

Plein air painting along the shores of the Great Salt Lake is one of my most immersive and inspiring experiences. Through this work, I explore themes of belonging—being present where I am—resourcefulness—using simple materials—and spirituality—honoring how nature sustains and informs us.

The Still Heart of Awareness

5/7/2025

 
Picture
"The Still Heart of Awareness" is a sculptural exploration of healing and transformation. A subtle incision down the center symbolizes vulnerability and introspection - a quiet invitation to look deeper.

This artwork has had 9 lives! It was nearly lost when I used it to channel a broken heart. Originally repaired with red rope, it was later reassembled, revealing that true healing comes through gentleness, not forced closure. Its journey continued as a vessel for goddess empowerment, in sepia, bronze, and simmering gold.

This piece captures the slow process of healing, and the belief that every wound and moment serves a purpose. It’s a personal reflection on resilience, transformation, and the understanding that everything happens for us, not to us.

The Art of Liberation: A Journey of Breaking Free

5/6/2025

 
Picture
I am pleased to share that my large-scale sculptural piece, The Art of Liberation, has found a new home in Washington, DC. This work is particularly personal and meaningful to me.

It was created with the intention of visually expressing the act of breaking free from the bonds that can hold us back, symbolizing the pursuit of freedom. The piece was initially bound with Shibari rope and left to bake in the Utah sun. Once dried, the ropes were unbound, leaving behind indentations that reflect the process and the journey of release.

My hope is that this piece will bring a sense of joy and inspiration for years to come. I also want to extend my sincere gratitude to Gallery Mar for their ongoing support and encouragement of my creative journey.

I am pleased to share that three of my pieces, developed during an artist residency in Santa Fé, will be featured at the new Weber Morgan Children’s Justice Center in Ogden, Utah. It’s meaningful to contribute to a space dedicated to supporting children through their healing process. I appreciate the opportunity to collaborate with Ogden Contemporary Arts on this project. Looking forward to the upcoming ribbon-cutting event.

New Works: Exploring Roots, Belonging, and Spirit

4/22/2025

 
Picture
Paintings exploring themes of home, belonging, and spirituality. Crafted using locally sourced materials such as sand, salt, and sawdust, these works serve as anchors of stability amidst turbulent times. They foster a sense of rootedness and connection, inviting reflection on place and identity. 

As creators we learn to embrace what emerges on the canvas, allowing this mindful process to extend beyond the borders of the frame and into everyday life.
