Bio
My art is the art of having total trust in oneself – from within and without – and not having the slightest care as to what the external or internal critic may say. My process is creative and innovative– I become intimate with every beat and nuance of a song I dance to, and of every stroke and movement of my hand as I paint or draw. My work mirrors my way of being – existing out of the mainstream. Possessing self-love is key to honoring both the process and the product...all without censorship or judgment.
Shadow Cartography - an artist's work is a reflection of their inner landscape; I like to say that, what we envision and create, will always be second to what it truly is or how it truly exists. So what's created, is quite simply, a Shadow of what truly is [albeit, beautifully expressed].
I am committed to self-awareness and creativity, the quest of awe and engagement. My art IS my Way. By allowing myself to be guided by my creative process, there has been a shift in my relationship to the arts and how I exist as a human being. It is my very passion to share the benefits I have experienced through the creative process with as many as possible. THAT is Opience - being guided by ones creative process - without censorship and without judgement.
Through my indulgent practice of Opience, it is no longer a goal to "bring" the very same grace, sensuality, divinity, and awe-inspired movements of dance, as well as the healing and transformative nature of the arts, to the movements of everyday life; that has been accomplished. It is now my current work-in-progress to Refine the intuitive and creative practice of authentic expression.
I'm also a dancer; I have my masters in Transpersonal Psychology [with a concentration in Creativity and Innovation], training as a Transformational Life Coach, lived in Asia for 2 years...and enjoy engaging myself in creative expression.
