Title: Wonderment

Science, Nature and Love: there is so much to be under their spell amidst what is seemingly predictable and yet remains Magic. While carrying my child, I was haunted by the thought that while this Miracle was so unique to me, every single human walking on earth was the product of such a Mysterious event.

How can the scientific mechanical dance of a tireless spermatozoid insisting to enter an ovum gives a Soul the choice to join our Human Dimension?  I remain in awe every day.

The HeArt, Ovum and Spermatozoid are each hand sculpted in a different clay body and unfired so as to allow Time to work its Process of Aging as it does to our own body.

Title: Impermanence 

A reminder that we have limited time on this earth. Inspired by the words...
We do not live once - We only die once, we should live everyday!

Title: I Do

This piece was intended to encompass and empower the female and commitment.  It is also one of the most profound phrases in our lives...

Title: Burner Soul Surfer

Description: This piece reflects many things at the same time. simplicity, independence,  indescribable feelings, joy, friendships, a source of fear, a spiritual connection, and a path to self-discovery. Like Burning Man, or the deep playa, surfing can be life-changing and a way to be alone with everyone.  In a time where there is a disconnect from nature and endless distractions, Surfing gives the gift of presence while being one with nature. Good for our bodies and purifies our mind.

Title: Look Within 

Why are we here? What is our purpose? How do we get there? With all the external noise these days, one can get lost in the madness - to find your way you must look within.

Title: Loaf of Life

Community is Life. Having a strong sense of community can help us to live longer healthier lives. A home is the most important place for a child. It is within the home that the most important values are taught, and to be shared with the community.

Title: This Moment

Description: Created using an image from my abstract landscape series, Place, and a distorted polaroid, this work reflects back at us an abstract version / view of ourselves, the sky above us and the world around us, pulling us out of our usual reality and allowing us to look deeper. Through this abstraction or distortion, we are forced to separate from our usual thoughts of the physical representation of place and ourselves, and instead, embrace the feeling of the moment.

Title: Shattered and rebirth

Description: This piece reflects one's journey moving through loss. Loss of things like family, relationships, loved ones, and health, among others. With time passing and healing all, and living and growing enabling rebirth -- the artist seeks to capture a path to new states of awareness and intent interacting with the world.
