Embracing Earth: Rediscovering Play and Truth in Art

Incorporating iron-rich Utah dirt into my artistic endeavors holds profound meaning for me. This organic material not only enriches my works but also imbues them with a sense of sacredness, connecting them to the land from which they originate. As I transform my studio into a blank canvas, the red earth becomes more than just a medium—it becomes a conduit for my expression, a reflection of my connection to the earth and its essence.

In a world where the pursuit of adulthood often discourages the expression of our inner child, it's important to recognize that embracing our playful instincts isn't a sign of immaturity; rather, it's a pathway to healing and self-discovery. Through play, we tap into our creativity, rediscover our sense of wonder, and unlock new depths of understanding about ourselves and the world around us.
​
In this journey of self-discovery, we have the opportunity to align ourselves with our deepest truths and aspirations. By embracing our yearnings and honoring our authentic selves, we not only find healing but also become agents of transformation, embodying the very truths we seek in the world.
