Art Work

Welcome! I create images as a way to be present to my lived experiences. Some themes that recur in my art are impermanence, acceptance, connectivity and renewal.

I use intention setting, intuitive art making and journaling as a form of self-care, meditation and personal exploration. Images reflects whatever I am feeling or thinking about on a given day. My intention is to practice slow, joyful art making and to put peace into the world.

For more information about my art making process, go to openstudioproject.org. I facilitate regular Art and Wellness classes there as well as lead Open Studio Project's facilitator training program, teaching lay practitioners and therapists how to offer this process to the people in their communities.

Under the waves, Watercolor, 12" x 9" Intention: I make art from my inner healing quiet space. I connect with

my wellspring. Witness to image: I hold a caring space for energies to emerge and unfold. Our bodies and

minds heal us. 2022

Heart Space, Watercolor, 12" x 9" 2021 Intention: I breathe and welcome calm. I notice joy in cracks and

crevices. Witness to image: Light, energetic, flowing colors. Center seed with two people looking at a child.

A world swirling around, uplifting, sweet, musical. Casting a line to the past. Breathing with the passage of

time. Holding on to right now and not wanting to let go.

Map of Causes and Conditions, Watercolor, 12" x 9" 2021 Intention: I am embodied, I am gentle, I breathe. Witness to Image: A red thread winding through connecting pieces and parts--arid and fertile. Some areas

open and flourishing, some blocked off and in need of replenishment. From up high, it is clear that I need to shower rain on the blocked off areas. Tilling soil--slow patient work.
