At first glance, we see a couple of cats outdoors on a wooden railing with a pot of plants. Then you look at the title of the painting, and wonder what I'm talking about. Convergence? A post modern myth? Are those pot plants? Why the creepy sun and dwarf? Are the cats named Karma and Hermes? If the painting is interesting enough to draw you in and study closer, a collector or art lover will begin asking questions in their mind: how and why did this artwork get here? Fans of philosophy may go even deeper, by unpacking multiple perspectives on a creative 'object'. They may delve into the mind of the artist and the cultural circumstances happening when the artwork was manifested. Over the months I spent working on this piece, I was also growing a field of hemp plants. During my day-to-day chores of being a farmer, I became fascinated with telling the bigger story here. Specifically, how our culture has karmically harmed this fast-growing natural resource. Long before western nations exploited neoliberalism for market domination, the commerce spirit of Hermes was alive and well. The opposite of Hermes is Hades, also known as Pluto in Roman speak. Pluto is where we get the word 'plutocratic', someone who amasses wealth without spending. In contrast, Hermes represents social mobility, transformation, and is the original 'disruptor'. The sun sculpture and the dwarf in one way, represent the big tech giants and Wall St. They are in the middle of things, holding dominant ground, but live in a container. The atmospheric conditions are far more vast and expansive, you sense the universe itself, is shining down on this intimate vignette. While financial and digital giants hold on to massive hoards of data for plutocratic control, it is the mercurial nature of commerce, that allows a perpetual cycle of creativity and innovation to ebb and flow. Good old Hermes to the rescue! Business leans in to make amends with Karma, prioritizing LIFE over static objects, institutional systems, and dead wood. The humble hemp plant is inspired once again to write new stories; this time it's for our post-modern age. Convergence of healing our past mistakes, with commerce for best planetary health outcomes, is the story we need to embrace NOW.

Uplifting the industrial hemp conversation, through mixed media, paintings, cloth-art dolls, and education, I am thrilled to fuse a lifetime of embodied experiences into my artwork. From farming hemp to building cannabis artwork, weaving new stories that regenerate the land and human culture is the work I love to share. Living in a small cabin in the Colorado Rockies for over 20 years, I also called Boulder my professional work-home, a good 30 miles through breathtaking canyons and pastoral agriculture lands. Originally I am a southern girl at heart; grew up on a bayou on Florida's west coast in the 1970's and 80's. Spent my coming-of-age years in Atlanta, Georgia; Ft. Lauderdale, Florida; Raleigh, North Carolina, and then back to my home town, Ozona, for a two year stint living between my parents and my maternal grandmother. Headed west in 1999, and can humbly say my roots are still maturing through: parenthood, living in community, and curious creative journeys + endeavors. Like many, I fell in love with art in kindergarten. I also fell hard for dancing - it was seeing West Side Story at that tender age, and gardening with my parents, that set the major themes in my life. Happily those threads are always around me. Through many career incarnations, motherhood, and a few natural disasters, living a creative life close to the land is the sweet spot for me.
