Personal Statement:
I
believe that Art has the capacity to Heal,
uplift, celebrate and transform. I believe that
in the act of creating ,we are re-created, by
placing us in alignment with The Great Creative
Force of the Universe. For me, the making of art
is a sacred vocation. Art is Prayer made
visible, it is an act of blessing. Each
color, form, or image translates An experience
of joy, or beauty or hope. Each piece I
create is an attempt to make the healing energy
tangible, The love known, and the courage to
change felt. I offer up my art to you who
receive it as a gift of Spirit

Imagine doing yoga in the
OPEN tee shirt, or beginning your day drinking coffee or
green tea and meditating as the fragrant steam rises out
of a large Vision mug. Imagine curling up with the Dream
Pillow, and writing in your Gratitude Journal. We are
working to bring these products to you on organic
materials, remember that the colors soften and change on
all natural fibers.
