Heart of Yoga

3/24/2022

 
Picture
During my yoga teacher training, there was a cue that stood out to me more than the others: "Heart Before Head''. I was fascinated! For someone who spends so much time in her head, the invitation to be guided by my heart was intriguing. I've learned that my best paintings are made when the channels of communication between my head and my heart are intrinsically connected. 

“One day we will learn that the heart can never be totally right if the head is totally wrong. Only through the bringing together of head and heart-intelligence and goodness-shall man rise to a fulfillment of his true nature.” — Martin Luther King Jr.

Anyone else having a moment with black walls right now? The truth is, a black wall (or a black-painted room) can be equal parts sophisticated & soothing. One of my favorite juxtapositions is between black & antique gold.

New Paintings | Spring 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.

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.

​How is your relationship with your canvas affecting the work that you do/don't do?

Your relationship with your canvas can take many different forms. The results can be as varied as your intentions. A canvas can be (to name just a few):

​NEW PAINTING INSTALLATION | 
​
A truly delightful afternoon (including a competitive game of Cornhole!) hanging out with our friends at Studio Moxie Architects, Park City.

When I imagine my paintings integrated into a space, a contemporary interior like this one is at the top of my list: Clean lines, subtle sophistication & the juxtaposition of textures makes each piece stand out as individual and unique.
