"When Creativity Speaks"
Pencil drawing with Acrylic
22 x 30

"The inspiration for "When Creativity Speaks" comes from a sacred place. As I entered its landscape, a Raven's head manifested from a deep and mysterious well. From that point on, the drawing gave birth to itself. There were no preliminary sketches made. I just entered the space and got out of the way. This drawing represents the feeling I have when creativity sings its intoxicating song from the deepest chambers of my soul and reaches out to touch yours. No words, only pure truth - Powerful. The marks I make on paper, canvas, and board are the maps that take me on this journey to you.
I am addicted."

"Breathe"
Acrylic and Pastel
22 x 30"
"Art chose me as a very small child and has been my life force throughout my existence. Self-teaching has been my primary path. My work strengthens me and creates a thread of luminous, healing energy that interweaves itself to others who are drawn into its magic and who also need to quench their scorching thirst by drinking the nectar from the well of this powerful, yet delicate web. A visionary web that words struggle to penetrate, but simply cannot. A web holding fire energy. Igniting and ravenously burning to ashes the seemingly inpenetrable layers of thick walls, which we unconsciously create within ourselves, leaving exposed only our bare bones, a charred skeleton that hides nothing. Deep-rooted, wildly feral emotions, of which only one's soul can hear and understand, are set free to speak the language of the silence of faded whispers that resonate upon each strand. Our deepest wounds live here in a whirlpool of our own ecstatic bliss. Our truth trembles when creativity is born."
