These four canvases took me seven years to complete. The image began as a white center, with a fade of green radiating out. Than the idea of the figure on all four canvases....and she was in shades of green. Next a study of the four directions, in color, season, and elements.........merging in her body, as she gathers her strength from the earth. This is the Medicine Woman. Begun in 1987, completed in 1994. She found her home in Sante Fe, New Mexico.
"You need to claim the events of your life to make yourself yours" Anne-Wilson Schaef
These two quotes express the "source" material for my work. I find that I actually need to express myself in art to make sense of life to myself. In getting clearer about this process for myself I have found great joy not only in sharing the finished work, but in sharing the process of making art.
I have created a studio that anyone can come to and have an experience of the joy of the creative process at work. I call it Sacred Play because when we open ourselves to the notion of "play"....there is an open ended freedom to creativity. "Play" married to "Sacred" gives one a grounded reverence to the process of making art.
As an artist I am daily working on several bodies of work. I find my own work greatly enhanced by the synergy of "playmates".
On this website I will have not only my own work for sale or show, but will also have the work of "playmates". In addition there will be groups, classes, and artist retreats.
