Artwork inspired by nature's wisest guides and the scars that heal us.
My art practice dives into growth and wisdom taught by nature's wisest guides.
Early 2024 brought a series of storms my way. I grieved a miscarriage, endured a major surgery removing a large cyst and my left ovary, I closed the doors of my 10-year-old ethical fashion company, I fought for my marriage, and ultimately, I fought for myself. With loads of time as I recovered from surgery, I began really listening to the Sun, the Moon, the cicada songs, the wind in the trees as they glimmer and dance. And nature, God, the universe, Source, the Divine (I think of them all as one) healed me. My art work is an ongoing lifetime study of nature and its ability to heal us, if we'll surrender.
Water
Like water, we're fluid. Always changing, evolving, moving, powerful. As water symbolizes vitality, intuition and rejuvenation, listen closely to the streams and seas as guides. We were created to flow naturally as we harness our individual innate powers. Like the tides, don't be afraid to submit yourself to the healing.
Land
Life gives us many mountain tops to cherish, but don't be afraid of the valley. The only way to get from one peak to another is through humble submission. Walking back down to the valley and preparing for your next big trek. Don't fear the valley, there's more vegetation down there, and that's where the rivers flow...
Body
We're created to be fruitful vessels, to find our purpose. Isn't it wild how our brain has the ability to heal our body and regenerate cells, how we can grow and house an entire human in there, how we can walk and breathe and blink and smell and taste and discover - without so much of a second thought to how much of a miracle this is. Let's dive into the miracle of our forms.
