Artist's Statement

My art pieces are a re-imaging other art pieces and creating them into something new. This is what I have been doing with my self, remaking myself.

This art is based on my life. It comes from my desire to find what was long lost: spiritual peace, love, new true friends, community ties and a reconnection with my family.

My art in the past 6 years has been on the motif of the symbolic heart. My art during these years has been mainly mixed media collage and painting, I have also created sculpture and lino-block prints. In the past 6 years I have started writing poetry and using words in my art.

My recent spiritual experiences have altered my concept of self. The experiences of Divine Unity, the Divine’s love and acceptance of all parts of myself, led me to deeply love and accept myself. The changes are reflected in my art.

After my healing, spiritual experiences I have chosen to live with my heart wide open to who ever or whatever comes. It’s not an easy way to live, truly being who you are and wide open to all, but it can be glorious.
