Being immersed in the intersection of art and nature is a foundational part of my spiritual practice. Creating art is a process of meticulous energy and intention; a meditative act and a form of resistance against consumer culture and the pervasive attention economy. I create using a variety of media - primarily watercolor and ink, but also oil, embroidery, collage, and digital media. In my work, I venerate the natural world as a sacred force and celebrate the life-giving power of the female body. Much of the recurring symbolism I use has been inspired by personal life events - the power of pregnancy and birth, psychedelic experiences, growing up within patriarchal religion, and joyful, formative childhood memories. Through the process of engaging in creative work, I seek to explore beauty and interconnectedness while questioning established belief systems and societal norms that often go unexamined.
