As women we have been shackled in many ways, voting being just one. My Art has always been connected to freedom. Freedom to show the female form. Freedom to express my views on our social and political climate. Freedom from family and upbringing. Freedom from the sexual stereotypes that are imposed upon us as young girls and women. Freedom to express my feelings through Painting and Sculpture.
My BODY ART series features different parts of the female torso whose shape and form inspires my work. The female body becomes the foundation upon which I build by sculptures, using textures or paint to reveal deeper meaning. My YOKED BACK series focuses on the multitude of stresses or duties a woman’s back endures. The horse harnesses represent the concept of beasts of burden. Being the Backbone of Traditional to modern families a woman’s back is not only beautiful but full of strength and resilience. California Dreaming, Suspended Koi and Peony Princess are all part of this series.

There was a reason that she was so romantic about the Moon. It never asked her questions or begged for the answers nor did she ever have to prove herself to it. It was always just there—breathing, shining, and in ways most humans can’t understand: listening.

“The only way that we can live, is if we grow. The only way that we can grow is if we change. The only way that we can change is if we learn. The only way we can learn is if we are exposed. And the only way that we can become exposed is if we throw ourselves out into the open.”

Jizo is a beloved Bodhisattva found within many Buddhist traditions and is said to help us cross the threshold of death and loss and safely accompanies us through the ‘hell zones’ of deep suffering. Jizo (‘Earth Womb’) brings us the qualities of courage, fearlessness, and tenderness needed to enter into our experiences of grief and loss and to open our hearts to the mystery of life and death.
