I have devoted my whole life to trying to understand the human experience. Why is it that in one form can there be so much potential for both creation and destuction...great moments of kindness and compassion intermixed with unthinkable heartlessness. Good, evil, light, and darkness locked in a never ending dance and perplexing my soul. In search of the meaning i explored every church, spiritual and occult tradition that would allow me through the door. I studied at the feet of the wise and devoted true believers of many different faiths. Each offering me their understanding of these ancient traditions, each holding pearls and keys that helped me work on this obsession...the impossible puzzle of unlocking the whole...but each piece just leads to new questions. 20 years later i am an ordained elder high priestess of a hermetic order myself with a masters degree in behavioral neuroscience with a focus on learning, memory, and cognitive enrichment, even publishing in several journals for my work in these subjects. And still it is only when i am freely creating that i feel i ever get close to understanding. I have always been different...odd. Like most other creative types my mind always seemed half connected to another realm, a world with no rules where music , emotions, color and movement all blend together in an exotic and dizzying dance. Everything layered and interconnected until there is no part that is alone or unaffected by the rest....and yet we all feel so alone sometimes, like no one in the world could possibly understand us or share our perspective but when i share my art or view a creation that moves me it makes me feel that connection...and for that moment we can see what the other sees and i know god at long last hidden with in the simple moments of empathy and understanding in this human condition. And so i make art because it is here that i start to finally see God within myself and all other things.
All art is done with magical intent and all sales go to fund
10 acres of desert land purchased and ready to be greened. Greening the desert helps slow climate change. 100 percent of profits from art and plant sells go to green this land which once complete will be an artist haven open and free to any and all.
