Fine Art Gallery

My authentic heart work is a merging of art with studies in love, sustainable culture, creative therapy, ecopsychology, deep ecology, and the wonderful potential we each hold within us. My hearts passion is to explore and creatively illuminate the meaningful process that nurtures the seed of genius within each of us to fruition. Central to this process is our interconnectedness. As we blossom, our authentic heart gifts inspire and support each other with the necessary nourishment we need in order to grow. Quintessentially, I am a nurturer. Through my arts’ illustrative journey I hope to cultivate healing and new synergistic cultural identity that inspires holistic thinking and builds mutually symbiotic relationships between my viewers, the earth and all its richly diverse forms of life. **************************************************** Born in the land of the Northwest Coastal Bioregion, (in Portland, Oregon) I grew up in communion with the rich depth of evergreen forests, dynamically changing ocean shores and the majestic freedom of mountain peaks. As a result of my sensitive awareness and will, my world has always been woven into the fabric of nature, my voice and body held by its nurturing earth. My inner world has been rich, turned and polished in life’s’ adventures, in tune with its exquisitely intricate details and the forthcoming visions. My life has been a process of delving into this intrinsic world, from the roots of family and land that sustain me, in order to nurture forth the unfurling of my expressive wings of creative voice as a gift of honoring to the world. I work in as many creative mediums as I can get my hands on for they all build on each other and work on a different perspective and expression of the fractal, multifaceted web of life.
