And with her obsidian knife, she cut the threads that kept her bound to a kingdom to which, she suddenly realized, she never belonged.  It was a hard cut; some of the red threads bled and the drops were carried away in the water.  She cried a red tear.  But she ultimately knew it was her nature; she was an outsider.

 

 

“Wisdom is offered to me through shamanic training and world traveling is my inspiration. Making art pieces on concepts such as ‘forgiveness’ or ‘balance’ is my study of relationships with life. 

As I work my pieces, I can meditate on the aspects of the concept and work these perceptions into the construction for an evolving understanding of the original concept. I work with many materials; from hand-dyeing fabrics to painting, sewing, beading, collage.  

As I cultivate a piece, concepts develop further into the abstract, to ultimately create a story that is personal to me, but still open to free interpretation.”
