Artist Statement for Shadow & Light Exhibit

October, 2000 - I visited Riverside, WA for the first time in my life.

October, 2013 - I said goodbye to my mountain life of 12 years.

August, 2015 - We cried over the phone...wildfires swept through our precious forest.
November, 2015 - I finally returned to my sacred home to console all the souls of trees and animals that died in fire. In this great nature all I can do is to create art and pray for the mountains.

Through my new series entitled Consoling the Souls, I am also supporting new generations of wildlife and forest regeneration.

Consoling the Souls I

I was deeply overwhelmed by the devastating aftermath,

and felt what I had never felt before

between Shadow & Light of the burned trees:

something intense and pure, sensuous, rising,

like the birds spinning toward the shining sky.

In the heart of this flame

all my painful memories were Fading Away.

Catch Me now between the destruction and the new beginning.

What it tells me is how I have been loved.

I must love in return with all I have carried.

What we need is here -

Nature knows the way of truth,

the path to the divine oneness.

Breath to Breath,

let my heart awake.

With golden revelation

I am slowly healed in beauty.

This piece is available at Confluence Gallery, Twisp, WA.
September 27 - November 8
Opening Reception 4-8pm, Saturday, September 27.

Here is my artist statement for this piece:
"We experience enlightenment through requiem.

Death is the progression onto a higher level of being. To transform flesh into light is not an easy task, yet we must be moving to the next level in the process of spiritual ascension.

Birth and death bind the cycle of life.

Let our hearts be struck open by passion,

and listen to the music of the soul until the last day comes.

We will find ourselves in bliss, and remember who we truly are."

My new mixed media pieces are available at Krab Jab Studio. The exhibit runs through October!

in love
