Welcome to my new Art Page!

Creativity is one of the many ways my soul expresses its essence.
The creative process insists that I set my mind aside along with my tendency to overachieve and override my limiting beliefs that I know nothing about how to create.


I woke one morning last fall determined to gather together the “light restorer candles” that I sculpted during the summer. Initially, I called them “light holders” — until my guides corrected me and named them “light restorers.” They stand as a means of restoring hope and are the opposite of despair.



This stone spoke to me in a dream. It challenged me to hammer and chisel deep, in order to find its “vein of healing.” I hammered, chiseled, and filed away about ten pounds of stone before I spotted a glimmer of green. This stone is a perfect place holder for the song I invite everyone to sing in my workshops: “Keep your heart open to love!”

Each time I create, I express a different aspect of my soul. Each time I create I challenge myself to go beyond what I believe I am capable of as I merge with the infinite possibilities that are forever present. Each time I dare to create I dream at night and awaken with insights and excitement. Each time I create I transform my consciousness. Each time I create I connect to a sacred aspect of myself.

Two decades ago I chose stone, hard earth, to explore my creative process. Equally true, I believe that stone choose me.

Stone is hard and sometimes it is impregnable.
Stone is unpredictable and sometimes it shatters.
Stone is unforgiving.
Sculpting stone is like subtraction. I file away whatever doesn’t reflect the stone’s essence.

Last summer I chose to explore my creative process with clay, soft earth.
Clay is malleable and predictable.
Clay grows stronger each time I touch it.
Clay yields to my gesture.
Clay is forgiving and encourages me to explore my willingness to forgive others and myself.
Collaborating with clay is like addition. I add layers to bring out its essence.

Creativity awakens my yearning for wholeness. Form and texture replace words. Filing stone and pinching or throwing clay create meaning. As I trust my instincts and surrender to What Is, I merge with the clay or the stone and a form is born. Transformation emerges.


As an artist I intentionally invite the elements of earth, water, air, and fire to have their way with me.
As an artist I ground myself in my body, my instincts, my intuition, and await inspiration.
As an artist, I intentionally use my hands as extensions of my heart.
As an artist I awaken to unseen connections and invite my muse and the lineage of artists to inform and illuminate my creative offering.
As an artist I enter the mystery each time I make a gesture with my file or my hands.

Each time I am creatively generous with myself, I heal and gain a sense of my wholeness and overflow with appreciation for the earth. Clay and stone are earth. I too am of the earth and the dust of faraway stars. Together we co-create and grow through love.
