I have two passions: moving and painting. Exerting my body through space by swimming, running, biking - I reach calm.

The butterfly - when I see them, I know it is someone from ‘beyond’ fluttering by to awaken me.

Eloise - affectionately called ‘Weez’ is the zen master who lives with me. She is forever in the present moment. I watch her and I learn.

The almighty Circle came back into my work - thankfully. I am trying to say “Yes” more - I get inspiration from my sisters and my dad who seem more inclined to the Yes way of living. I try.

This figure had a lot of energy surrounding her - she’s hopping from one stage of life to another - she’s okay and on her way.

This girl is on fire. She is experiencing life in another country - she’s staying open to the possibilities.

The open hand - I am either open to life or closed to life. I wish to stay open.

Sometimes I look at my feet in awe of how much they do for me. They’re really not that big yet they carry me over a lot of terrain. So it’s only fair to spend a little extra to get comfortable shoes…

Grapefruits are included in my diet daily. I love them - juicy, sweet and oh so good for the body.

The Fork, Knife and Spoon represent food - and how we can either help or
harm ourselves by what we put in our mouths.

My sister told me that your body actually produces Dopamine when you put your arms in the air or even visualize your arms in the air. There are certain spots on my run when I put my arms in the air and get a little rush…. ahhhhhhh….

There is a field of sorghum outside my studio and it is crazy hypnotic - the vertical lines and the way it moves in the wind is something beyond special.

The Push Pin. I see beauty in the banal. Sometimes I’m not sure why I am pulled toward certain subjects - the push pin - it’s bright color and sharp point compels me.

The paper clip holds together that which is loose. My day has ‘structures’ which help hold me together. Meditation, sketching, running, being with my dog and loved ones, to name a few.

I listen frequently to a CD by Louise Hay, who says to make time to dance every day! And when I am dancing all is well in my world - it’s a good vibration.

The conch shell appears a lot in Sublimity 45 - someone once told me ‘you have to make your obsessions work for you’ and these shells sort of haunt me. They have a figurative quality - very feminine and sensual.

Every summer I’m drawn (no pun intended) to the daylily - which lives for a day and then dies.

Sat Chit Ananda is the pure, undifferentiated state of non-duality. It is the most perfect expression of our primordial Self, which is energetically inseparable from the power of the Love creating the universe. To reside in this state is the experience of pure Bliss; the essence of Life Itself. This definition of Sat Chit Ananda sums up this painting.
