Embodying the Full Spectrum
An epiphany opened up as I realised that, contrary to my fears, I am not reduced or lessened when those I love in my life are no longer in my life or their love is withdrawn. As these changes appear and I am without the company of loved ones, it is my identity that feels threatened, but this is not who I really am.
Cleansing
This artwork is about the resonance of what we desire. So often, we don't really feel we deserve what we want. We sidestep what we want because we feel we need to earn it, to work hard before we can actually receive all that we desire. This painting was born out of...
Balanced World
In nature the birds, bees and butterflies never second guess themselves, there is no doubt about any decisions made. The bee moves gracefully from flower to flower. The butterfly’s flies fluidly. Never doubting for a moment what it will do next. The bird takes off the branch never questioning; “Will there be enough food today? Maybe I should just stay here where it’s safe or I might just be sorry I ever flew so high and became so daring.”
Subtleties of Life
Often times the subtleties are not directly perceivable. The truth requires us to drop beyond the stories the mind tells. How often does one thought after another follow? Where we chase around ideas and concepts only to find precious minutes, hours, days, weeks even...
Alchemical Transformation
Marianne Williamson writes “It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?”

Finding the Flow and Letting Go
We are, no matter what the situation appears to be, enabled to address every moment in full capacity.
That aha moment, that opening, that sweet surrender of grace, that primordial flow is available the moment we end fighting life and begin to work with all that we are given. Once we harness our gifts and attend to everything at our fingertips we become the sacred artist of life.
For it matters not what we do, but, how we do it. From this place we make ourselves available to intuition.
It is the magnitude of our presence that defines the quality of the results created. Whether it is simply doing nothing or a complex task, our Divinity shines through when the pressures of the mind have subsided and our wholeness of being has arrived.
