Eyes wide open and seeing since the day after birth according to my Aunt, I've been looking, watching, and seeing beneath the surface since memory. Unable to express what I saw or felt I found art as a means to communiate the beauty and beings I knew were all around me.

There's wholeness in knowing were're not alone, and it brings a spiritual perspective to life outside of the cares and worries of a work-a-day mundane reality. This is what my work is all about, connection to spirit, ethereal energies, and completing the circle of life.

I see a piece of wood and recognize, greet an elemental being. I pick up that piece of wood and the being I've percieved begins to speak to me of the places it has been, the things it has seen, and the sadness or glory of what is yet to come, and I'm compelled to bring all these visions into form, honoring the circle of ethereal life.

Once I begin we meditate together and my hands begin to move the tools, a litte here and a little there. Discard the dross and see what remains. The process continues with see my eyes, see my nose, and this is how I want to look, and we continue until the presence becomes complete. And then we talk about presentation, color, accouterment.......It's really quite ethereal:-))!

Pretty much the same happens with the energy tools I create. We meet on a walk or pop into my head out of a need to honor the connection to spirit - mine or someone else's, and the process takes over.

Hope you enjoy the results as much as I enjoy the creation!
