Inspired by the Mystery
I am drawn to the mystery of ancient places, of trickster tales, and stories passed down through time. Creation myths, hero’s tales, gods, and goddesses are archetypes drawn from the well of human experience. We recognize our own stories there.
When I consider what kind of myths I want to tell I think about what we need to hear to inspire people. We need the power of animals and humans living together, even merging spirits. We need more stories of whole and strong women. We need the impossible and the magical to give us hope. We need to see the connections in life and the shifting perspective of things that are one thing and then another.
It is a great gift to be able to magically manifest my ideas into the world through my art. I hope my stories, characters and creations will connect with you on deeper, intuitive levels. May you experience the Spirit within all acts of creation.
UPCOMING SHOWS
Sebastopol Gallery Guest Artist
August 24 to October 6
I am pleased to be invited to show in the Sebastopol Gallery’s new space, right down Main Street from their old place. I will be showing a selection of my cast of characters, my more recent etchings, and a display of my Vanishing Bee Series.
October Open Studio and Proof Sale
I decided to take a break from Art Trails this year. I have been opening my studio for both programs steadily for about 10 years, and I think I am ready for a little break. And I get to visit some of my artist friends!
However I will offer a proof sale on September 26 at my studio, from 11 to 3. After that there is an opening at Sebastopol Gallery from 4 to 6. Come celebrate their new space! You will find reduced price prints that are not part of the edition, and other things I do not show during open studios. Sometimes that means a particular way of coloring that I tried but did not ultimately use, sometimes it is an early proof before making other changes to the plate, or a one off monotype.
