My Artwork is spirit-based and intuitive. A lifetime of spiritual experiences, have led me to acknowledge that time has no beginning or ending, that the I am that I am encompasses all of life, and the universe is indeed, the great unknowable Tao. Those experiences are where my inspiration comes from, events which I have witnessed and known for the truth of it. I feel it is important to remind others and myself, who we really are; spiritual beings who are all connected on the subtle levels of our spiritual being. We are made from stardust; the concept behind my artwork is that human lineage sprang from the stars and came to life on our home planet, Earth.

The mediums that I primarily use are acrylics, digital software, paper collage and handcrafted objects. I use bright colors, symbols and shapes, and a back-ground environment which surrounds the human figure to suggest spiritual connection. Colors and symbols illustrate the emotional ambiance and elements of cosmic process. My belief that the universe is the corporeal body of God impels me to artistically symbolize this totality by incorporating elements of our solar system and the Milky Way. My artwork is an attempt to examine the concepts of soul and cosmic consciousness.

Those artists and art movements whom have influenced and inspired me are Georgia O'Keefe, Alphonse Mucha, Vincent Van Gogh, Seurat, Monet, Impressionism, Symbolism, Pointillism, Native American crafts, and Ukiyo-e prints. I work intuitively, and often use dream imagery and or visions to shape each piece as it evolves. I like to use dots of color to symbolize the tiny atoms that make up our physical universe. Dots are used to depict energy, motion, or the human aura. My work is deeply personal and acts as a cathartic haven to heal my heart and meditate upon the imperfections of human existence.

Art is my religion, the altar upon which I pray daily.

I graduated from Southern Oregon University in 2002 with a B. A. in art and a minor in art history. My artwork has been shown in So. California and So. Oregon.
