This painting was inspired by my wish to have the masculine and feminine energies in balance and harmony, through compassion. It followed a story that my brother told me about being rescued on the high seas after a sudden storm overtook his fishing boat and threatened to sink it. A pod of dolphins suddenly arrived and calmly accompanied the boat back to the harbor. It was evidence of the beauty and harmony that can come about through compassion. even through cross-species communication. In this painting, the female dolphin is in a state of radiance while the masculine dolphin honors her.
Message; Humanitarianism will be the salvation of our species and our planet. Similarly, cooperation between the species as well as the sexes is absolutely imperative to our continued existence. This will occur as we accept within ourselves both the masculine and feminine sides of ourselves and become whole persons.

While painting in my studio to the strains of Beethoven’s music from the “Immortal Beloved”, I was suddenly struck by the power of the music as well as the subject matter which was this beautiful flower called the Passion Flower. Suddenly, I experienced the synergy of the erotic, the beautiful and the cosmic. Combining these three sources is the basis of the state of grace. I felt like a momentary midwife to this energy and was in a state of awe and appreciation to have experienced this synergy firsthand.

The message: Surrendering to one’s inner passions gives one the opportunity to acquire the state of grace. It is the process of putting passion into a form that is the pathway to this state.

This painting was a spontaneous response to having issues of money arrive in my consciousness while I was in my studio just fooling around one day. The painting initially started with the spherical image and the dollar signs.  Later in the evening this little creature arrived. Part of my process is erasing images out of a background color and revealing images I do not expect.  Upon doing some research I found that this image was related to Native American mythology and was known as the  “Spirit Dancer”. I then realized that this was the energy framework that would bring abundance to me.  The coyote was also part of the trickster, a good omen for doing business.

The message: The flow of authentic energy, represented by money in our culture, is most powerful when linked with Spirit!

A heart-shaped sunflower blossom that grew in my friend’s garden after her husband died inspired this painting. She believed that he was trying to communicate with his love for her through this flower and asked my to paint it. I did the whole painting but left a section blank in the middle when I could not find the right image for the completion. Suddenly, it occurred to me to put a silk chiffon dress in front of a fan and paint it. It reminded me of Spirit coming through the power of the Sun with light and love and beauty.

The message: We have arrived at the point in our development of our consciousness where the energy of the sun’s radiance can be experience through surrendering s to the energy of love for each other. Messages from our loved ones on the other side are available to us if we are willing to have faith in that possibility.

This painting honors the role of the Divine Feminine in healing the planet.  The Shamanka is the Feminine Wounded Healer and she can travel between the worlds, gathering information from the healing forces of the Invisible realm.  The raven is one such messenger informing us about the importance of the soul and its purpose within each of us. The tipi represents the respect that is shown by the Native American culture for all of life in all its forms.

The message:  The immediate and unequivocal activation of the feminine healing energies is an absolute necessity for the healing of our planet. We are each responsible for manifesting, from our soul, some hidden, but important, part of planetary and individual evolution o consciousness. We, who live on this continent, are bound by a sacred covenant to help this process for the entire plant.

This painting was inspired, in part, by the death of a family cat and is about women and their cats and the mystical intuitive realms that they both inhabit.  If domestication does not override their naturally wild and instinctual nature, both are privy to inordinate supplies of wisdom. The Earth needs this wisdom badly at this time.  Here, the cheetahs are protecting the angelic being, a messenger from the invisible realms, so that she can deliver her messages.

The Message: For women, it is important to protect the wild, private and mystical side our nature for this is where the true healing is available to our culture, our planet and ourselves. Staying connected with our passions, feeling selves and inner messages is crucial to all healing.  Our strength lies in our passions and fierce commitments to what is true for us.
