Artist Statement:
In my artwork I try to evoke a
strong emotion in the viewer,
one that is universal and
inspired by all that the gods
intend. Sometimes while
working, I surrender my
artistic sense to the circle
of Ascended Masters and work
as a channel. Some would call
it 'being in a zone'.
Musicians 'get in the groove'
I assume all artists feel
this, in some way, and I look
forward to hearing how others
experience this same
inspiration. I thank the gods
for the vision to see their
conception in a lump of clay
or a piece of driftwood. And I
thank them for the ability to
share it with others. I try to
make my work accessible to the
many, for without a viewer a
piece of art is nothing. It is
the viewer that makes it
art....

| Biggest Artistic Inspiration |
I immediately loved Picasso's Guernica--I was drawn to its angst--and Impressionism, which I feel is how my subconscious views the world. I was drawn to the Dada mentality of rejecting the establishment and its rigidity. Surrealism allowed me to experience the dreamworld while awake and to work within a limitless realm. |

| Why Did You Become An Artist |
I have attention selectivity disorder, which in my case means I do my best creative work non-verbally. In the Sixties and Seventies, after the assassination of our nation's spirit, I felt compelled to express myself through the arts to bring a moment of joy, no matter how fleeting, to those of us who suffer from that lingering malaise which seems to hang over us all. I found that if I surrendered my ego, my soul was freed and I became a vehicle for the spirit world to bring some joy to a grieving world. For the same reasons I became an RN, a writer, a healer. Am I damaged goods? Of course--as are we all, and I thank god for that--because it allows me to embrace the pain, turn it into art, and possibly enrich someone a bit, help them get through the struggle. The key for me is never to forget that I am "just" a vehicle. |
