Statement
This series of two dimensional, mixed media paintings portrays topographic impressions of oceans, land masses, planets, and galaxies. The universal and spiritual language of light and color are captured in thick, luminescent layers of resin, pigments, minerals, and gold. The result is an abstraction of the natural world, and the celestial bodies that we inhabit. Light is a symbol described and expressed across all religions, spiritual paths, and art since the beginning of recorded human existence. As the viewer contemplates the paintings, an alchemical process between the natural and spiritual world, manifests within the self. These elements form a universal language of beauty, power, and stardust within us all.
Materials used in paintings: resin, wax, crystals, flower pollen, palo santo wood ash, sage, meteorite dust, alpine fir sap from Mt. Rainier, tree bark from lava flow at Mt. St. Helens, 24 karat gold, silver, copper.

Statement
I am curious about exploring the nature of consciousness through mystical states of awareness. Through art making, dreams, telepathy, yoga, dance, meditation, group ritual, and immersion in nature, I experience these expanded states of awareness. The art making process is a mystical path, going beyond the limited experiences in conscious awareness.
My art is residue from this process, which I share with the community to inspire balance through emotion, beauty, inspiration, and empowerment. The object, performance, or experience witnessed by the viewer, becomes the link to elevated consciousness within the observer, and thus community.
