I consider artists to be the modern day mystics. The seers and translators of
Mystery.
Their work is the negotiation of two worlds: the sphere of mapped and
predictable exteriors
perceived as "reality"...and the veiled other world of permeating
undercurrents that pulses
with potential. Artists succeed when they bring "into reality"
something nourishing
and accessible from forays into the place beneath and beyond what we know.
I paint in
acrylics on canvas, board and found objects. My work is influenced by the
shapes and metaphors of nature, universal mythic elements of story and dream,
psychedelic
explorations, feminine perspective, spiritual folk art, the drawings of young
children, art deco and
nouveau design, emotional and sexual energies, dark underbellies and folk
magic.

I have no formal art
education. I developed my expression through a mix of
inspiration and experimentation. I paint inner landscapes, revealed to me through years of
introspection, lucid dreaming and playing with psychedelics. I am voraciously interested in
the underpinnings, where things connect: bodies and psyches, religion and science,
dreams and realities. I
relate closely with the element of water which allows me to
stay creatively fluid, open to intuitive influence and at home in the wells of imagination.
EVOLUTION OF A
PAINTING-CLICK
Stars and seeds I see
wink inside
all shapes between.
In each humble
unhollow cell
potential's potent
ringing bell
sings dark bits
to bright explosion.
Raining keys
in colors pulse,
sink and strike
chords and notes
upon the lid
of heart and eye.
Overfull will spill
the seen unseen
stars and seeds.
