About The Artwork

In this abstract vignette, a woman in a head covering with a child on her back bends in contemplation amidst the surrounding unrest. Although the scene is groundless, it is held together by the bond between mother and child (or self/inner child or self/daimon). The large translucent halo at the top of the picture and the smaller circle at the crown of the veiled “mother” signify the union. Radiating petal and wing shapes float over background chaos and act as arms of an elaborate and private prayer. The up and down mirrored, green-hued “hearts” in the bottom left corner represent the “as above-so below” of reality, reminding us that our projections onto and manifestations realized in the outer world are also individual and collective reflections of our inner lives. On the left side, the stacking shapes build a rhythm and a wall of protection. The elongated black pouch with white stripes holds the unknown. Mapping agents such as the syzygy (alignment of circles) that runs up the right side of the picture, many triangles, and the broken chevron pattern make simple geometries that provide steady places from which to witness, meditate and make sense. A triad of subtle circles rotates in constant motion, embodying the mysterious dynamics between the mother and child (or self/inner child or self/daimon). Non-linear in every sense, the complex teachings between these entities are an intricate weaving of past, present, future, ancestors, DNA, nature, nurture, dreams and the divine. This constant feedback loop informs our lens on the present and the choices we make daily and is thus due a deep immersion and investigation. (unframed)

My paintings include hints of two-dimensional icons, stained glass windows, ceremonial objects, carnivalesque paraphernalia, dressmaker pattern pieces, and carefully designed altars. I see the work as functional and as such it may resemble a strange alchemical device, a crude vessel, a protective figure, a fortune teller, a shamanic robe, an asymmetrical mandala…all of which shepherd the process of transformation. I am inspired by the decadence of Art Deco; the hope and efficiency of Mid-Century aesthetics; the joining of texture, light and comfort in interior design; the riotous maximalism in haute couture; the rawness of tribal mark making; and the implied doorway to the unseen in esoteric symbology. All of these influences are cradled in deep investigations into color, particularly its role as a visual phenomenon and catalyst for sparking feeling and narrative. My work is collected worldwide and featured in collections and collaborations in Denver, Seattle, New York City, Macau, Hong Kong, Singapore, Nanjing, Dubai, Edinburgh, and Amsterdam among other places.
