While I’ve been making paintings for nearly thirty years, I also developed a practice as a shamanic reiki energy healer. If the work you see here is about anything it’s about my relationship to all beings, the seen and unseen, micro and macro, the kinship between the Three Kingdoms, the Cosmos and the Spirit World. I'm inspired by all the Ways of Nature.
I try to allow my mind to take the shape of a container, the way water takes the shape of a container, then dissolve the receptacle and allow my mind to unfold into new. Refining, forgetting, remembering, remembering to forget, then the painting paints itself.
