passages to the spirit

burning love, 2023

Every day, our hearts play a song that we either choose to listen to, or skip.

We can choose to absorb the sounds, and realize the emotions revealed to us.

Or we can ignore, push away, hide the feeling with something else.

Reaching into the heart leaves us a path into our own spirit.

Consuming art, fashion, and music each day gives me space to actualize my inner love and joy and presence, re-energizing my own creative rhythms.

Breathing, stretching, releasing, painting, crying, hugging, laughing, taking pictures….. all the mundane parts of life suddenly become charged with energy when we don’t hide or carry our burdens around with us.

I want to always press play, to listen and feel and realize what is right in front of me.

I am making paintings, and one of a kind pieces of jewelry to give my inner world a way out, from my spirit into reality.

Expressing any feelings or sharing new work can feel like being naked, giving people a view of what makes you feel most vulnerable. But the spirit knows it must flow outward into this 3D reality, so we can shift the rhythms and thought channels into new realities.

Art creates the future. Artists sense the future as if it is happening now. We take the pieces of reality we see clearly, and let new possibilities and unknowns fill our visions with form, color, light, idea. We feel collective energy, the surrounding moods of people, the underlying desires, feelings, and fears. The artist can choose to help society or cause more decay and destruction.
